Short: V12.0 Powerful unarchiving tool (68060)
Author: stoecker@epost.de (Dirk Stoecker)
Uploader: stoecker@epost.de (Dirk Stoecker)
Type: util/arc
Kurz: V12.0 Maechtiges Archivextrahiersystem
Version: 12.0
Download only the archive you need (for your CPU):
xadmaster000.lha : 68000 and 68010
xadmaster020.lha : 68020, 68030, 68040
xadmaster060.lha : 68060
xadmasterlang.lha: german, french and polish docs
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.
Changes to last version:
- Improved xad2lha tool and fixed a bug in compression routine.
- Improved disk handling of xadUnDisk.
- Added PackIt client.
- Support for broken LZX date till 2005 added. Mikolaj's fixed LZX will
work till 2027 with XAD now and Dr.Titus patched and broken LZX till
2005.
- Added update of MS-TNEF client.
- Added polish docs. Moved localization files into seperate archive.
- Added updated ASCII client. NOTE: I forgot last time, but ASCII is still
BETA and incomplete (but stable enough to be released). Don't wonder if
certain types are detected, but not extracted!
- Bug fixes in exe2arc, Zip client, DMS client, Amiga filesystem client and
StuffIt client. Thanks Ronald van Dijk and Jürgen Klawitter for the reports.
- Added improved version of CBM-8Bit external.
- Added character set conversion functions into the master library and
support of different encodings as well as Unicode. It seems to be very hard
to get a xx.1 version of XAD. Originally planned as V11.1 this charset
stuff forced version increase to V12.
- Added last (important) missing algorithm to StuffIt client. It should be
fully functional now (except of decryption). Also fixed recognition a bit
to detect newer StuffIt files with changed header. Thanks Matthew T.
Russotto for doing the hard work.
- Added TR-DOS client by AmiS.
- Added news and fixes from Ronald van Dijk.
- Added pattern support for xadUnDisk (and thus also limited multifile
support).
