- Introduction
- ------------
- AREX is an Extraction shell, which supports (almost) every archiver existing
- on the MS-DOS platform. The thing with AREX is: If you can use it (it's useful
- to you) you think IT'S THE BEST, but if you don't: you would only be wondering
- why I created it with programs on this globe like SHEZ and ARCMASTER.
-
- The most IMPORTANT feature, the reason why I created AREX in the first place,
- the POWER of AREX, is that it uses a common subdirectory in where it creates
- another subdirectory with the same name as the to be extracted archive. In
- this directory the archive will be extracted.
-
- This way you only have to give the NAME and DESTINATION of the to be extracted
- archive and AREX handles the rest. This is ideal for testing software or when
- you use a program only temporarily. Use AREX to extract the software,
- directories are automatically created... run/use the software and when ready..
- remove the software (directory-tree). As easy as can be !!!
-
- This is the first English version. In the past this program was called LAAD
- and entirely in Dutch.
-
- No notes for now...
