Short: V6.0 Powerful unarchiving system
Author: stoecker@amigaworld.com (Dirk Stoecker)
Uploader: stoecker@amigaworld.com (Dirk Stoecker)
Type: util/arc
Kurz: V6.0 Maechtiges Archivextrahiersystem
Version: 6.0
The XAD is for file extraction from archives! It can be compared to XFD
system, which is for single file decrunching. They do different work,
but are used together often.
This is a library providing an interface for unarchiving all possible
types of file or disk archives. It is NOT an archiver GUI or anything
like that. This system does the COMPLETE unarchiving stuff with internal
routines, NOT calling shell programs or using other programs to do the
work!
The interface can be built by application programs like included shell
utilities. It provides same features and interface for ALL types of
supported archivers. E.g. virus checkers could use this system to do
very comfortable background archive checking.
This software is Shareware. See conditions in documentation file.
Changes to last version:
- Added SOS client done by Stuart Caie.
- Added xadUnF script to C directory. It allows to call multiarchives a bit
easier, but supports extraction and LIST only. Call it "xadUnF <arc> <dest>"
or "xadUnF <arc> INFO", where <arc> is the basename of the archive without
extensions.
- Better support for single file crunchers like GZip and BZip.
- Added Arj and "Arj MS-EXE" clients.
- Added XADCF_NOCHECKSIZE and new xadLibInfo version 1.4.
- Added "Zip MS-EXE" client.
- Some code cleanups. Now the error returns of some archivers help much more.
- Added BZip2 external client done by Stuart Caie.
- Updated xadUnFile (1.17) and xadUnDisk (1.7).
- Added lots of new flags and definitions to improve information handling.
- Bug fixes in Zip clients.
- Added LhF client.
