- The below file is the README included with the Archive0.7 package, which
- I just submitted to sonata.cc.purdue.edu in /pub/next/submissions.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The Archive app will show .Z, .tar, .lha, .lzh, and .zip file icons, and
- will launch when one of these is double-clicked from the workspace,
- uncompressing/unarchiving them. The "Help" from within the app has more
- details.
-
- To install, just copy the binary to /NextApps or /LocalApps or ~/Local or
- anywhere in your path, then logout/login.
-
- Only the binary is required, all other files can be removed if desired.
-
- Warning: I had modified the Makefile and .iconheader files to allow for
- more than 3 file extensions for this app. I asked
- comp.sys.next.programming for a more convenient way of doing this, and got
- no response. So if you save from the interface builder, you may need to
- modify these files.
-
- The app assumes that the unix utilities compress, lha, tar, zip, and unzip
- exist. If any of these are missing, it will not interfere with the
- programs ability to archive/extract from the other formats.
-
- This is version 0.7, and will only extract from archives.
