Short Manual to DO5exoticArcs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Introduction
------------
  Some days ago, I was just using and handling
"normal" archives like Lha/Lzh, Lzx, DMS, ZOOM
and others. But then I discovered a gzip-archive
and I didn't know how to handle it at once.
  So I searched the Aminet® for an unpacker, that
was able to handle and decrunch it. I found one,
but the usage wasn't easy, because it was a port
and originally developed for unix. I don't know
why these people need hundreds of arguments, I think
they just like to attack their keyboard :)
  What to do now ? I had to read the whole Shell-
output of the program :( It took a while...
  So I decided to add matching filetypes to my
DOpus5, which should handle such archives easily.
I decided to release them, because other people
could need them (except of the shell freaks :) )

Disclaimer
~~~~~~~~~~
  You use these filetypes at your own risk !
I will not take any responsibility for any
damage. I think you are old enough to handle
the given things carefully :)

Copyright
~~~~~~~~~
  These filetypes were released as FREEWARE.
Just use them and feel free to spread them.
BUT if you use it and you think you have to
write any suggestions and/or bugreports, then
don't wait and leave me an email :)

Requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~
  You'll need different tools/unpackers, that
can be found on Aminet®:

  - gunzip
  - untgz
  - GNUTar
  - unzip   (5.32)
  - unrar
  - unarj

Install them and your system is ready to handle
the archives !

Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
  Just copy all files in the filetypes drawer to
the DOpus5:filetypes/ drawer to use them in your
dopus sessions. That's all.

Usage
~~~~~
  If you have installed the filetypes to your
system, following actions are supported:

Archive,       Action               Does
--------------------------------------------------
GZ             Doubleclick          List
               Drag&Drop            Unpack
TAR            Doubleclick          List
               Doubleclick (Ctrl)   Unpack to RAM:
               Drag&Drop            Unpack
TGZ            Doubleclick          List
               Doubleclick (Ctrl)   Unpack to RAM:
               Drag&Drop            Unpack
ZIP            Doubleclick          List
               Doubleclick          Unpack to RAM:
               Drag&Drop            Unpack
RAR            Doubleclick          List
               Drag&Drop            Unpack
ARJ            Doubleclick          List
               Drag&Drop            Unpack

It could be possible, that the one or the other
filetype contain a special menu which appears
by pressing the right mousebutton over it.
This only works, if you have enabled

PopUp-Menus in Textmode

under

Environment / Edit / Listeroptions   !

CHANGES
~~~~~~~
  FIXED TAR Archive (Drag'n'Drop, DblClick (CTRL))

Future
~~~~~~
  I think I don't need to update this archive,
but if you want to see other (un)packers to be
supported, just send me an email with detailed
information.
