2ARCHIVING SOFTWARE
1{H!ARCFS}{JCDFS::PDCD_3.$.ARCHIVERS.!ARCFS}
4The read only version of Mike Smith’s ArcFSr/w. All the archives
4on this CD have been archived using ArcFSr/w except for the
4pocket book section.
1{HGZIP}{JCDFS::PDCD_3.$.ARCHIVERS.GZIP}
4Gzip reduces the size of the named files using Lempel-Ziv
4coding (LZ77). Whenever possible, each file is replaced by
4one with the extension .gz, while keeping the same ownership
4modes, access and modification times. (The default extension
4is -gz for VMS, z for MSDOS, OS/2 and Atari.) If no files are
4specified, the standard input is compressed to the standard output.
4If the new file name is too long, gzip truncates it and keeps
4the original file name in the compressed file. Gzip will only
4attempt to compress regular files.
4Kai Schlichting.
1{HPACKDIR}{JCDFS::PDCD_3.$.ARCHIVERS.PACKDIR}
4PackDir will archive an entire directory, including all its
4subdirectories, into a very compact archive file. Directories in
4archives may be completely restored at either their original path or
4a new path.
4John Kortink. v1.35.
1{HSPARKPLUG}{JCDFS::PDCD_3.$.ARCHIVERS.SPARKPLUG}
4A utility to De-Archive many types of Archimedes and IBM archives.
4David Pilling. v2.23.
1{HTAR}{JCDFS::PDCD_3.$.ARCHIVERS.TAR}
4Franz Philipps' front end to Frank Lancaster's tar.
1{HTARZ}{JCDFS::PDCD_3.$.ARCHIVERS.TARZ}
4Calls tar and Compress for a unixcompatible compressed tar-file.
1{HARCFS072C2}{JCDFS::PDCD_3.$.ARCHIVERS.ARCFS072C2}
4Latest version of ArcFS from Mike Smith. v0.72c.
1{HINFOZIP}{JCDFS::PDCD_3.$.ARCHIVERS.INFOZIP}
4Info-ZIP's Zip/UnZip suite is a collection of programs written to
4perform file compression and decompression based upon the zipfile
4routines as used by Phil Katz (PKWARE) in PKZIP (for DOS).
4Its main advantage is its portability. It has been ported to many
4hundreds of computer platforms, and now has been applied to Acorn's
4Risc OS machines.
4Karl 'RiscMan' Davis and Sergio Monesi.
1{HKLEINFS}{JCDFS::PDCD_3.$.ARCHIVERS.KLEINFS}
4KleinFS is a program which allows you to fit more and larger files
4onto your discs. Whatever the type of disc you are using, be it an
4IDE hard disc or a 3.5" floppy disc, if your computer can read the
4disc, KFS can use it.
4PTW Software.
1{HLZW}{JCDFS::PDCD_3.$.ARCHIVERS.LZW}
4LZW and LZWD are utility modules, which will compress and decompress
4files. As their names suggest, they use the LZW (Lempel-Zev-Welch)
4compression algorithm, which (in one or more variations) is also
4used in many other file compression utilities (like ARC/SPARK) and
4several graphics formats (like GIF and TIFF).
4John Kortink. V1.02 / V1.03.
1{HSQUISH}{JCDFS::PDCD_3.$.ARCHIVERS.SQUISH}
4Sprite compressor/decompressor.
4David Lodge & Ian Jeffray - Riscy Developments. V2.42.
1{HZIPMOD}{JCDFS::PDCD_3.$.ARCHIVERS.ZIPMOD}
4This collection of files adds the commands 'zip' and 'unzip' to the
4RISC-OS command line. To do this include !InstalZip into your boot
4sequence. From now on 'zip' and 'unzip' will be available.
4N. Douglas. V0.10.
