ARCDEF

The most complicated command is without any doubt ``ARCDEF''. With this command nearly every archiver should be able to used by Filer. For ``Zoo'', ``LHArc'', the new ``LHA''–format and for FLib belonging to PasTEX are included in the suplied configuration file. If you want to use the original ``LHArc'' instead of ``LZ'' you will have got to change it.
The ``ARCDEF'' command has the following arguments:

• the pattern to recognize the archive files with e.g. ``#?.LZH''

• the calling syntax to add files to an archive, two filenames will be inserted:
  • a name of a textfile containing a list of the files to be added
  • the name of the archive file

  e.g. ``LHArc -a -x -i%s a %s''

• the calling syntax to list the contents of an archive file
  e.g. ``LHArc -a -x l %s''

• the calling syntax to extract files from an archivem two arguments will be inserted:
  • the name of the archive file

  • the pattern of the files to be extracted

  e.g. ``LHArc -a -x x %s %s''

All together:
ARCDEF ``#?.LZH'',``LHArc -a -x -i%s a %s'',``LHArc -a -x l %s'', ``LHArc -a -m -x x %s %s''.

The ``ADD'' function is non functional in the demo version.
