Short: 2.0b - filesystem, use lha as directory Author: Rafael.DHalleweyn@rug.ac.be Uploader: Rafael.DHalleweyn@rug.ac.be Type: util/arc ARCHandler 2.0b ================= ARCHandler is a filesystem that allows you to use lha-archives as if they where directories. The files in the archives can be used like normal files: you can read, view and/or execute them. ARCHandler currently requires an Amiga running Kickstart/Workbench 2.04 or newer and 1Meg of memory. Although ARCHandler works with floppydisks, a harddisk is recommended. To extract files from archives, ARCHandler uses the 'LhA' (© Stefan Boberg), both the evaluation and registered version work. Major changes since release 2.0a: -Complete support for six actions: ACTION_CREATE_DIR [CreateDir()]; ACTION_DELETE_OBJECT [DeleteFile()]; ACTION_RENAME_OBJECT [Rename()]; ACTION_SET_COMMENT [SetComment()]; ACTION_SET_DATE [SetFileData()] and ACTION_SET_PROTECT [SetProtection()]. -Removed bug that was introduced in 2.0a: the number of archives in use could become negative, this prevented ARCHandler from quitting. -All windows and requesters are now build by my own layout engine. This has resulted in some changes to the GUI. -The archive preferences window now contains a cycle gadget to select the type of archive recognition: filename, filename and contents, contents only. -LhA-archives with type 1 header weren't handled correctly. -Changed FindCommand and PrefLanguage (commands used by Install script). I hope this fixes problems with the Install script and different shells. -When there is a problem with the underlying filesystem ('volume not mounted', 'disk is full', ...) you should get the name of the volume with the problem (instead of 'Volume Archives is write protected'). -FromARC didn't work, fixed. -Danish and Finnish translations.
