-
- Acorn version details:
-
- Should work as advertised, please let me know if it doesn't!
-
- I'm not too sure how the x option will perform - USE WITH CARE!
-
- Ported using GCC and UnixLib. It uses UnixFS, so extraction into directories
- of file's extension names is dependant on the UnixFS$sfix system variable.
-
- For instance, to extract .txt and .doc files into directories of those names
- use:
-
- Set UnixFS$sfix doc:txt
-
- Simply separate extensions with a colon.
-
- If an extension is not specified in this variable the file is extracted to the
- current directory with / substituted for . - filenames are truncated to fit
- starting with the second character.
-
- I recommend that the unrar executeable is put in your library directory, so that
- it can be run from anywhere (By default this is $.Library).
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Other tools used:
-
- Zap - excellent mega-editor
- Director - general desktop enhancement
- PCEm - to unrar the source in the first place!
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- To do:
-
- Some effort at setting filetypes, possibly through the DOSMap mechanism.
-
- Integrate it with something more useful and multi-tasking!
