- Short: V8.0 Powerful unarchiving system
- Author: stoecker@amigaworld.com (Dirk Stoecker)
- Uploader: stoecker@amigaworld.com (Dirk Stoecker)
- Type: util/arc
- Kurz: V8.0 Maechtiges Archivextrahiersystem
- Version: 8.0
-
- The XAD 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:
- - Added new SensiDisk client version.
- - Added "Microsoft FAT FS" filesystem.
- - Added ZAP client done by Stuart Caie.
- - Added MSA client done by Stuart Caie.
- - Added bzip client done by Stuart Caie and updated Version of bzip2.
- - Added "CAB" and "CAB MS-EXE" developed by Stuart Caie. This only misses
- one older algorithm, but Stuart is working on that problem.
- - Added new version of xadUnFile and xadUnDisk.
- - Added DImp client by Stuart Caie.
- - Added Ar client by Stuart Caie. Stuart made really lots of new clients.
- I'm waiting for other users doing the same. There are so much formats
- out there. And you become registered user!
- - Updated Arc client supports archives with directories now.
- - Added input and output stream hooks
- - Added xadGetHookAccess() and xadFreeHookAccess().
- - Removed entry sorting for filesystem clients to unify interfaces and for
- speed reasons on large harddisk images.
