- ARCHIVE X-RAY 1.02 GORDEN HAFF Registration $ free
- UTIL FEB92 XRAY ARCHIVE VIEWER
- FILE xray102.sdn
-
- The main reason that I originally wrote Z-Ray (as
- in Zip X-Ray) is the following: I have a shareware file
- management program called Directory Freedom which is small
- and fast in spite of having more wonderful and exciting
- features than I could possibly describe here (Plug #1). Yet,
- there was still one thing which I continually ended up having
- to exit DF to do -- namely, to view the contents of files
- contained within ZIP files.
-
- I looked high and low for a program which I could
- call with DF's nifty user-defined shell function (Plug #2),
- but nothing did exactly what I needed. So out came the
- assembler and, a week or so later, out popped ZR.
-
- As time passed, I also wanted to be able to do the
- same thing with other archive formats I sometimes used -- ARJ
- and Lharc. So, taking Z-Ray as a base, I wrote AR and LR.
- These latter two programs do work a little differently
- (inside) from ZR -- see the Technical notes -- but these
- differences should generally be invisible to the user.
-
- So.... armed with these viewers, DF can now perform
- most of the major archiving and de-archiving functions for
- the major formats used on PC's. (DF 4.0 and later has the
- capability to archive files.) For the fancy stuff (such as
- selective archive updates), you'll still need a program like
- ARCMASTER or SHEZ, but DF will be able to handle all the
- everyday stuff.
