- Description
- -----------
-
- LhADir.dopus is an ARexx script for Directory Opus that allows you to show
- the contents of LhA archives in a DOpus window and operate on the files and
- directories inside the archive as if it is a normal directory.
-
- With LhADir.dopus you can:
-
- - browse through the directory structure of an archive file
- - read/play/show/etc. files from an archive
- - delete files and directories with the Delete button
- - extract/add files and directories with the Copy or Move button
-
-
- Requirements
- ------------
-
- LhADir.dopus has been tested with Directory Opus 4.12 and LhA 1.50r.
-
-
- Other features
- --------------
-
- These are the features that set it apart from other DOpus LhA interfaces.
-
- - can be compiled with the Rexx Plus Compiler for optimum speed
- - needs only one extra user interface button (GetDir/Browse)
- - only one script; the function it performs is specified by an argument
- - works with more than one copy of Directory Opus running
- - view an archive in an archive by extracting it from it's mother archive
- to 'T:' or the current destination directory
- - show a file's internal version string in the title bar
- - deletes strange file names like '#?' without a problem
- - using it is safe (I use it nearly every day myself)
- - create new (empty) LhA archives with the MakeDir button
- - copy/move between two archives (via T:)
- - date stamps, attributes and comments are listed and preserved correctly
- - unpack DMS files to disk with progress indication, error report and the
- ability to break
