This is the README for Archive.0.7.N.b.tar.gz [Download] [Browse] [Up]

The below file is the README included with the Archive0.7 package.
This submission includes a binary (stripped), as well as source.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Archive app will show .Z, .tar, .lha, .lzh, and .zip file icons, and
will launch when one of these is double-clicked from the workspace,
uncompressing/unarchiving them.  The "Help" from within the app has more
details.

To install, just copy the binary to /NextApps or /LocalApps or ~/Local or
anywhere in your path, then logout/login.

Only the binary is required, all other files can be removed if desired.

Warning:  I had modified the Makefile and .iconheader files to allow for
more than 3 file extensions for this app.  I asked comp.sys.next.programming
for a more convenient way of doing this, and got no response.  So if you
save from the interface builder, you may need to modify these files.

The app assumes that the unix utilities compress, lha, tar, zip, and unzip
exist.  If any of these are missing, it will not interfere with the programs
ability to archive/extract from the other formats.

This is version 0.7, and will only extract from archives.
