ACE (compressed file format)
open-in-new
<p>In <a href="/facts/Computing/Kghtm9fX">computing</a>, ACE is a proprietary <a href="/facts/Data_compression/gMFuY4FT">data compression</a> archive <a href="/facts/File_format/qrXbwJaH">file format</a> developed by Marcel Lemke, and later bought by e-merge GmbH. The peak of its popularity was 1999–2001, when it provided slightly better compression rates than <a href="/facts/RAR_(file_format)/cgHI6gnw">RAR</a>, which has since become more popular. </p>
