Type:     util/arc

    Object oriented (BOOPSI based) archive handler.
    Provided archivers: Lha, Tar, and Compressed Tar.

    Makes archives appear as volumes in the system.
    They are then readable from Workbench, Shell, or any
    directory utility. Has an intelligent bufferisation
    mechanism to prevent multiple extraction of files.

    Using this system is more effecient than any other
    dir-util based archive support. try it!

    The open architecture will allow easy creation of
    all known archive formats objects, and others...


    Changes:
    ~~~~~~~~

    1.3:    Added self extract lha archive support.
            Bug fix in lha level 2 headers decode.

    1.4:    Replaced OpenFromLock() with Open() in all objects for handlers
            that do not support new v37 packets (caused empty archive dirs).
            Getting parent of an archive root directory now fails.
            (ex: CD foo:/bar fails. CD foo:bar is correct)
            No more need to terminate TMPDIR with a '/' for environnement
            variable ENV:Archives/Archive.
