Short: Update of the best ->LZX repacker, GUI!
Author: Andrea.Vallinotto@p13.f21.n334.z2.fidonet.org (Andrea Vallinotto)
Uploader: jan@pmn.it (Jan Pasotto)
Type: util/arc
Requires: OS2.0, reqtools.library and rexxreqtools.library, LZX 1.20 and
various unarchivers
Replaces: util/arc/Repack3_3.lha
Version: 3.4
This is Repack version 3.4, an update (and bugfix) of version 3.3.
New in version 3.4:
- added support for error codes of various unarchivers.
- fixed a bug reported by Per Jacobsen that prevented the script from
working with LZX 1.20 unregistered.
- tar-gzipped archives are now threated as a single file type.
Repack stands for: Recursive Enhanced Pratical Archive Conversion Kit.
It's an Arexx script that converts entire directories of archives of various
formats to LZX.
It's better than any other similar LZX repacker because:
- all the operating parameters can be chosen through Reqtools requesters or on
the command line.
- it repacks archives RECURSIVELY! This comes very useful if you need to
convert those distribution made of many .lha files archived together.
- can handle most of the used archivers|packers: Lha, Arc, Zoo, Pak, Zip, Arj,
Rar, Xarc, Hpack, Gzip, Tar, Tar-gzipped.
- works either on single files or entire directories.
- is SAFE! If anything goes wrong while repacking, no harm will be done to the
original files.
- includes a special option, called 'BBS mode' made especially for BBS like
DLG-pro or C-Net; if this mode is enabled, Repack will copy the original
comment and datestamp of the old archive to the new .LZX .
- there's also a one-shot single-file version useful for C-Net systems.
- works even with nasty file and directories names that includes spaces.
- can recurse through sub-directories.
- has an add-and-omit files option (to get rid of or add #?.displayme kind of
files - see doc!).
- can take advantage of the registered version of LZX.
- has a log file.
It's FREEWARE so enjoy!!!
