What is ACE file?
ACE (.ace) is a compressed archive file used, in particular, by WinAce. It is the most popular standard for file compression and one of the oldest. ACE files share several features with other compression programs such as WinZip (.zip) and WinRAR (.rar). An ACE file is usually structured like a self-expanding executable archive. This means that when the ACE file has been opened for the first time, the pre-compressed data inside will be uncompressed and stored in its own folder. [ ⏩ ] ACE file extension
Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from 008 to ACE?
To successfully convert the 008 file to ACE, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.008). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case ACE (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than ACE).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. 008 to ACE. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting 008 files to ACE files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension ACE, while before this step we had the 008 file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new ACE file, or not.
