Voodoo-X is MUI-based front-end for Dirk Stoecker's powerful
unarchiving system - xadmaster.library. Unlike other dearchiver
front-ends, Voodoo-X doesn't depend on the archiver commands (such as LZX,
LHA, DMS, etc.) being in the C: drawer nor does it require complicated
command line setups for these commands. This is because XAD does all the
hard work. :-)
Voodoo-X allows you to quickly browse an archive's contents and view
individual files (with multiview) like pictures and documents just by
double clicking your mouse. This method of browsing archives proves to be
highly effective since you don't need to get your hands dirty by
extracting files to temporary locations such as Ram:. Voodoo-X does all
that for you.
With the help of XAD, Voodoo-X supports more archiver formats than you
can wave a stick at, Amiga and non-Amiga, these include:
LZX, LHA, ZIP, WinZip-MS EXE, DMS, DMS-SFX, Tar, GZip, RAR, SuperDuper,
CrunchDisk, xDisk, PackDev, Zoom, Shrink and many many more...
xadmaster.library is a modular system and will support even more
archivers in the future.
Note:
Voodoo-X doesn't actually write disk-based archives (like DMS, xMash,
etc.) back to disk, but instead examines them to see if they are OFS or
FFS formatted, if they are, it then allows you to browse through the
contents of them and retrieve individual files.
Voodoo-X can also retrieve files from inside standard FFS formatted
(i.e AmigaDOS) ADF files, OFS, FFS, DirCache, International,
Double-Density (aka DD) and high-density (aha HD) disks formats are all
supported.
