Hamarsoft HAP 3 is a legacy file compression and archiving format developed by Hamarsoft in the early 1990s. It was primarily utilized in the MS-DOS environment to bundle multiple files into a single compressed archive for storage efficiency and distribution. As an obsolete archive format not supported by modern operating systems natively, it requires specialized retro-computing tools for extraction and generally poses minimal security risks.
