- ============================================================================
- Long Introduction
- ============================================================================
-
- Voodoo-X is an MUI based front-end for Dirk Stoecker's powerful unarchiving
- system xadmaster.library (Shareware). Unlike other dearchiver front-ends,
- Voodoo-X doesn't depend on external 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 filetypes) 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.
-
- xadmaster.library is a modular system and will support even more archiver
- formats 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 like those used with WinUAE. OFS, FFS,
- DirCache, International, double-density and high-density disks
- formats are all supported.
-
- ============================================================================
- New things for Voodoo-X 1.4
- ============================================================================
-
- o Small updates and bug fixes.
- o Optimizations.
-
- See history file for more details.
-
- ============================================================================
- Features
- ============================================================================
-
- o Browse many archives very quickly. Voodoo-X contains an archive history
- list, much like the URL history list of a web browser. This allows you
- to switch between archives VERY QUICKLY with only three clicks of the
- mouse button.
-
- o Retrieve files from within DMS archives (and other disk based archive
- formats too) without having to extract the entire archive to disk or
- a virtual disk device like FMS.
-
- o Browse archives inside archives. Quickly gain access to that document
- inside that LHA inside that LZX inside that DMS. ;)
-
- o Quickly view pictures, documents or similar files that are inside archives
- simply by double clicking on a file. Voodoo-X will then extract it and
- start the viewer of your choice.
-
- o Drag one or more archive icons from Workbench into the main window to
- browse their contents.
-
- o Support for multipart archives.
-
- o Virus checking. If you have Georg Hoermann's xvs.library system installed
- then you can check archives for file viruses. You can also specify if
- every file extracted should be checked.
-
- o Lots of archiver formats are supported (common ones and obscure ones).
- Disk image formats are also supported, so you can treat AmigaDOS
- formatted ADF files as normal archives under Voodoo-X.
-
- o Fast decompression, thanks to xadmaster.library. Note that this really
- depends on the client being used. Some clients are coded in C and might
- noticeably slower than the original archive program on older CPUs.
-
- o Very easy-to-use user interface, thanks to MUI.
-
- o Quickly copy, move or delete archives using pull down menus. This can
- be highly convenient when going through download directories.
-
- o Search window. Search for strings or filename patterns inside archives.
- Uses assembly optimized string search routines for greater speed.
-
- o Nice progress bars. :-)
