Hi Dave,
I tried ArcHandlerEx for the first time yesterday and was very impressed - well
done Dave! Not sure it'll be replacing ArcDir for LHA/LZX and ArcHandler 1.8
for ZIP just yet though - but what do you recommend Dave?
I was also impressed that it works well with PC self-extracting archives (now I
just need to finish off some filetypes for them!).
Just one suggestion for when browsing archives in a new lister. When you press
"parent" it causes the window to close if you're in the top-level directory of
the archive - could this be changed so you go into the directory containing
the archive? Even better, for when you're browsing archives in archives,
could it take you back to the first archive? Anyway, it is nice to be able to
do things like double-click on an ADF disk image, then on a .tar.gz file in
the floppy disk image, then on the .tar file and then on the files in there!
If someone could find a way of cutting down the access time with DMS files and
also adding files directly to ADF disk images ('disk' space permitting), I'd
be very impressed. However, I assume that is a limitation of xad.
Regards,
Keith
