- XAL USAGE and ADVANTAGES :
- ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- Purpose : XAL lists the contents of archived-files created by
- all popular compression (archiving)-programs. Refer
- appendix D for the supported archiving-programs.
- You may specify the archived-files (*.ARC/ARJ/ICE/
- LZH/PAK/ZIP/ZOO) to be explored as well as the
- files to be displayed with the wildcards "*" and
- "?". Refer appendix B for the use of wildcards.
-
- Notice : If this version of XAL is not compatible with the
- archiving-program you use so please send us a short
- message what happend. Please state the version of
- XAL you currently have and send us - if possible -
- a shareware / pd-version of your "incompatible"
- archiving-program. You will receive the latest
- updated version of XAL free as soon as available !
-
- You may interrupt XAL with any keystroke. An interruption is
- indicated with a big cursor (█). Any next keystroke instruct
- XAL to continue. XAL may be aborted with [ESC] or [CTRL-C] at
- any time.
-
- XAL reports the results in one of the following languages :
- - English - French - German
- The convenient language will be detected automatically, but
- you may choose an other language with the parameter /Mcode.
-
- XAL offers the possibility to redirect the output into a file
- or to a printer. Please refer appendix A for more details.

- nothing other indicated. If you want to explore archived
- files in other directories, you must specify this in the
- command line, example is XAL D:\PACKETS\*.LZH.
