- Short: V12.0 Powerful unarchiving tool (LANG)
- Author: stoecker@epost.de (Dirk Stoecker)
- Uploader: stoecker@epost.de (Dirk Stoecker)
- Version: 12.0
- Type: util/arc
- Kurz: V12.0 Maechtiges Archivextrahiersystem
-
- Download only the archive you need (for your CPU):
- xadmaster000.lha : 68000 and 68010
- xadmaster020.lha : 68020, 68030, 68040
- xadmaster060.lha : 68060
- xadmasterlang.lha: german, french and polish docs
- xadmasterdev.lha : developer files and source examples
-
- The XAD system is for file extraction from archives! It can be compared
- to XFD system, which is for single file decrunching. They do different
- work, but are used together often.
-
- This is a library providing an interface for unarchiving all possible
- types of file or disk archives. It is NOT an archiver GUI or anything
- like that. This system does the COMPLETE unarchiving stuff with internal
- routines, NOT calling shell programs or using other programs to do the
- work!
-
- The interface can be built by application programs like included shell
- utilities. It provides same features and interface for ALL types of
- supported archivers. E.g. virus checkers could use this system to do
- very comfortable background archive checking.
-
- This software is Shareware. See conditions in documentation file.
-
- Changes to last version:
- - Improved xad2lha tool and fixed a bug in compression routine.
- - Improved disk handling of xadUnDisk.
- - Added PackIt client.
- - Support for broken LZX date till 2005 added. Mikolaj's fixed LZX will
- work till 2027 with XAD now and Dr.Titus patched and broken LZX till
- 2005.
- - Added update of MS-TNEF client.
- - Added polish docs. Moved localization files into seperate archive.
- - Added updated ASCII client. NOTE: I forgot last time, but ASCII is still
- BETA and incomplete (but stable enough to be released). Don't wonder if
- certain types are detected, but not extracted!
- - Bug fixes in exe2arc, Zip client, DMS client, Amiga filesystem client and
- StuffIt client. Thanks Ronald van Dijk and Jürgen Klawitter for the reports.
- - Added improved version of CBM-8Bit external.
- - Added character set conversion functions into the master library and
- support of different encodings as well as Unicode. It seems to be very hard
- to get a xx.1 version of XAD. Originally planned as V11.1 this charset
- stuff forced version increase to V12.
- - Added last (important) missing algorithm to StuffIt client. It should be
- fully functional now (except of decryption). Also fixed recognition a bit
- to detect newer StuffIt files with changed header. Thanks Matthew T.
- Russotto for doing the hard work.
- - Added TR-DOS client by AmiS.
- - Added news and fixes from Ronald van Dijk.
- - Added pattern support for xadUnDisk (and thus also limited multifile
- support).
