Short Manual to DO5exoticArcs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Introduction
------------
Some days ago, I was just using and handling
"normal" archives like Lha/Lzh, Lzx, DMS, ZOOM
and others. But then I discovered a gzip-archive
and I didn't know how to handle it at once.
So I searched the Aminet« for an unpacker, that
was able to handle and decrunch it. I found one,
but the usage wasn't easy, because it was a port
and originally developed for unix. I don't know
why these people need hundreds of arguments, I think
they just like to attack their keyboard :)
What to do now ? I had to read the whole Shell-
output of the program :( It took a while...
So I decided to add matching filetypes to my
DOpus5, which should handle such archives easily.
I decided to release them, because other people
could need them (except of the shell freaks :) )
Disclaimer
~~~~~~~~~~
You use these filetypes at your own risk !
I will not take any responsibility for any
damage. I think you are old enough to handle
the given things carefully :)
Copyright
~~~~~~~~~
These filetypes were released as FREEWARE.
Just use them and feel free to spread them.
BUT if you use it and you think you have to
write any suggestions and/or bugreports, then
don't wait and leave me an email :)
Requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~
You'll need different tools/unpackers, that
can be found on Aminet«:
- gunzip
- untgz
- GNUTar
- unzip (5.32)
- unrar
- unarj
Install them and your system is ready to handle
the archives !
Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just copy all files in the filetypes drawer to
the DOpus5:filetypes/ drawer to use them in your
dopus sessions. That's all.
Usage
~~~~~
If you have installed the filetypes to your
system, following actions are supported:

It could be possible, that the one or the other
filetype contain a special menu which appears
by pressing the right mousebutton over it.
This only works, if you have enabled
PopUp-Menus in Textmode
under
Environment / Edit / Listeroptions !
Future
~~~~~~
I think I don't need to update this archive,
but if you want to see other (un)packers to be
supported, just send me an email with detailed
information.
