;ARCHIVER.BB2, archiver control file for XBBS-OS/2, XGROUP and AV
;KEEP A COPY OF THIS ORIGINAL FILE FOR INFORMATION LATER!
;
;format for this archiver.bb2 file (each entry has 21 lines):
;
; 1st line: ID of archiver (like ARC, LHARC, PKZIP, etc.; human consumption)
; 2nd line: normal extension for archives (like ZIP, ARC, LZH; note no period)
; 3rd line: offset into file to signature
; 4th line: list command
; 5th line: extract command
; 6th line: extract w/ directories command
; 7th line: test archive command
; 8th line: add/create command
; 9th line: add/create w/ paths command
;10th line: add/create & recurse command
;11th line: move command
;12th line: move w/ paths command
;13th line: delete command
;14th line: signature (case sensitive, leading spaces count!
;15th line: startlist string
;16th line: endlist string
;17th line: old size position (all positions 0-based, -1 = not available)
;18th line: new size position
;19th line: file date position
;20th line: number of positions in dates (for "03 June 92" would be 3)
;21st line: file name position (absolutely required, of course)
;
;a semicolon demarks a comment. they may appear at any point *except*
;within the 21 lines of an archiver entry.
;everything on the line after the semicolon is ignored.
;
;note that all archiver strings should include the archiver's paramters to
;prevent it from stopping for input! also note that archive types are checked
;in order of their listing in this file. finally, this file is set up for
;the archivers I had lying around; if yours are different versions, you may
;have to modify this file. All archivers are OS/2 (or FAPI) versions.
;
;how archive listing works:
;
;XBBS (or AV) first tries to find a signature match. failing that, it checks
;to see if the file might be an ARC-format file. If the latter, READARC.CMD
;is spawned (by XBBS) with ARC as the first argument and v as the second,
;followed by the filename. If the former, the list command is sent, followed
;by the filename. output is redirected to a file that XBBS then displays to
;the user. crude, but effective. AV handles things a little more smoothly.
;
;although only the list and extract command strings are currently used by
;XBBS, include them all. someday most or all of Peeker's functionality will
;be present in XBBS-OS/2. AV likes them, too, and uses most of them now.
;
;note to XGroup DOS users: you'll probably have to modify the ARJ and
;LHARC listings in here to work with your archivers.

;
;Notes on modifying/updating this file:
;
;You can add as many archivers as you like to this file.
;here are some suggestions on how to go about it:
;
;list an archive with the archiver, redirecting to a disk
;file (ex. "ARC l AFILE.ARC > TEMP."). Load the resultant
;file into a text editor. Clip out the startlist and endlist
;strings and paste directly into this file on the appropriate
;lines; prevents errors due to typos when copying manually.
;Count the positions of filename, date, etc. and place on the
;appropriate line. Now run the archiver redirected to a file
;to get its help screen (ex. "ARC > TEMP." or "ZOO h > TEMP.").
;Look for the various command options (extract, list, etc.) and
;put them into the file on the appropriate lines -- remember to
;add the modifiers to prevent the archiver from stopping to ask
;questions! You could be in deep doo-doo if it's a detached
;process. While it may seem a pain in the arse to have to
;edit this file when an archiver changes its command structure
;or list format, at least it's something within your control;
;you don't have to wait for an update to AV. That means if I
;die tomorrow you'll still be able to use AV for years to come.
;
;Here's an example of an ARC listing (5.12mpl, command "ARC l"):
;
;Name Length Date
;============ ======== ========= <--this line is start-of-list
;MAKEFILE 374 28 Nov 89
;QSORT.C 14279 29 Nov 89
;QSORT.EXE 24629 29 Nov 89
;STUFF.H 371 29 Nov 89
; ==== ======== <--this line is end-of-list
;Total 4 39653
;
;Note the filename is in position 0, old length in position 1, and the
;date starts in position 2, with 3 parts, and there's no new length
;field (so it'd be -1). Compare that to the archiver entry for
;ARC 5.12mpl above and you should get a feel for what all those fields
;mean.
;
;If you're adding an entirely new archive format, note that you can
;use 'C'-style \x<hexnumber> on the signature line in this file.
;For example, the \x1a in ARC 5.12mpl's signature line means AV will
;look for an ASCII 26 (text EOF marker) in position 0 (first byte, as
;indicated by ARC's line 3, the offset into a file for the signature)
;of a file to determine if it's an archive. If line 3's offset is
;negative, AV looks from the end of the file instead of the beginning.
;You can usually figure out what an archiver's signature is by looking
;at a few archives with a file viewing program like LIST. By all means
;send me anything new you figure out for inclusion in future releases.
;
;
;You can have several entries for one type of archive in this file. AV
;tries entries sequentially to list the file until it finds one that works.
;If the first entry for a signature doesn't work, and AV finds one that
;does, it moves that entry to the top of the list and rewrites ARCHIVER.BB2
;to make future accesses faster. This allows me to list everything I can
;get entries for and let AV sort out what the user actually has that works.
;It also lets you, the user, create archives with more than one archiver that
;produces the same sort of archive (or with different switches, like one with
;LHArc producing -lh5- compression and one with it producing old, compatible
;-lh1- compression).
;
;
;always end file with blank line or comment
