A .arj extension file is a file that is compressed using the ARJ archiver. The program was developed by Robert K. Jung and hence the extension .arj stands for Archived by Robert Jung. ARJ was initially developed in 1990 for DOS and for the earlier versions of Windows. It was a very popular format for compression in the early days because it was very efficient at file compression. It was highly popular at the time of early networks. It is fast, reliable and helps to save on disk space.
The .tar filename was originally designed to be used as a TApe ARchiver to store entire file systems and files as single files on tape storage medium. It was designed by AT&T in 1979. Today, the format more commonly refers to an archive or collation of multiple files into a single file with the .tar filename extension. The format is an open source file archive format commonly associated with the UNIX tar command however other data compression tools are capable of effectively compressing and/or decompressing files saved with the .tar file format. Doing so typically adds the compression filename extension to the archive file for example .tar.bz2.

The tar format is a popular means of digital distribution of multiple files over the internet. It should not be confused with compression/decompression format as tar is merely a tool to collate multiple files together. Combined with other compression tools and formats such as bzip2 or gzip, a tar file can then be compressed or decompressed as needed.
