* Nearly all archives now have file extenders:
xxx.spk: Spark archive
xxx.zip: Zip archive
xxx.arc, xxx.archive: this can be nearly everything....
These archives can be decompressed with Sparkplug 2.23
(archivers/splug.sfx).
* Other archive types:
xxx.Z: compress
xxx.gz: GNU-Zip (gzip)
xxx.tar: tar
Look in the directory "archivers" for the corresponding cruncher.
* Text files:
xxx.txt, xxx.info, README
If a file doesn't have an extender, it is either a text file or an
unrecognized archive (those archives should disappear as soon as I
have some time for this :)
* Some files are neither text files nor archives. Those files have a
special extender which tells you what type it is (e.g. xyz.absolute is
a RiscOS executable).
Please note that most README's don't use the extenders in the
descriptions!
