- Short: V11.0 Powerful unarchiving tool (DEVEL)
- Author: stoecker@epost.de (Dirk Stoecker)
- Uploader: stoecker@epost.de (Dirk Stoecker)
- Version: 11.0
- Type: util/arc
- Kurz: V11.0 Maechtiges Archivextrahiersystem
-
- Download only the archive you need (for your CPU):
- xadmaster000.lha : 68000 and 68010
- xadmaster020.lha : 68020, 68030, 68040
- xadmaster060.lha : 68060
- xadmasterdev.lha : developer files and source examples
-
- The XAD system 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.
-

- - Updated some external clients.
- - Added name and link extension types to Tar client.

- client.
