Can it open a compressed tar archive on the fly, using a single operation,
or would I need to run it twice, once to decompress it, and once to open it
in a lister?
This is what I do now:
Function : AmigaDOS Stack 100000
AmigaDOS gzip -dc {fu} >T:{ou-}
ARexx DOpus5:ARexx/ArcHandlerEx.dopus5 BROWSE {Qp} {Ql}
T:{ou-}
AmigaDOS Delete T:{o-}
I supposed for XADOpus to do this, you would need to add some arguments
(like NAME/K) to the module so you could decompress and then list the
archive from a different place like T: Anyone else care to comment on the
feasibility of this last idea?
All the best,
