Short: Use LhA archives as normal dirs in DOpus.
Author: edmundv@grafix.xs4all.nl (Edmund Vermeulen)
Uploader: kees@grafix.xs4all.nl (Kees Huizer)
Version: 1.11
Type: util/dir
Description
-----------
LhADir.dopus is an ARexx script for Directory Opus that allows you to show
the contents of LhA archives in a DOpus window and operate on the files and
directories inside the archive as if it is a normal directory.
With LhADir.dopus you can:
- browse through the directory structure of an archive file
- read/play/show/etc. files from an archive
- delete files and directories with the Delete button
- extract/add files and directories with the Copy or Move button
Requirements
------------
LhADir.dopus has been tested with Directory Opus 4.12 and LhA 1.50r.
Other features
--------------
These are the features that set it apart from other DOpus LhA interfaces.
- can be compiled with the Rexx Plus Compiler for optimum speed
- needs only one extra user interface button (GetDir/Browse)
- only one script; the function it performs is specified by an argument
- works with more than one copy of Directory Opus running
- view an archive in an archive by extracting it from it's mother archive
to 'T:' or the current destination directory
- show a file's internal version string in the title bar
- deletes strange file names like '#?' without a problem
- using it is safe (I use it nearly every day myself)
- create new (empty) LhA archives with the MakeDir button
- copy/move between two archives (via T:)
- date stamps, attributes and comments are listed and preserved correctly
- unpack DMS files to disk with progress indication, error report and the
ability to break
