Short: Use the good extractor for an archive. Author: cfc@iname.com Uploader: cfc iname com Type: util/arc Version: 1.0 Architecture: m68k-amigaos Distribution: Freeware It's a five minutes tool that you can use to extract several archive. I use this tool as a ToolManager dock object to extracting archive with a simple icon drag. Extract always in ram (It's not a feature but read again the first sentence...). Requirement: OS3+ (use datatypes) archive datatypes descriptors installed (can be found in /util/dtype/clidt.lha). several archive extractor (lha, lzx, unzip, gzip, tar). Feature: Can extract lha, lzx, zip, gzip, tar-gzip archives. Use datatypes to identify archives. Usage: it's a command-line tool but you should use it with ToolManager. option: -o Enable output of extractors. -x??? x position of a window that's say "Extract...". -y??? y position of the same window. You must specify -x and -y if you want the little window. My usage: In the ToolManager exec object prefs: [Exec Type]: Shell [Command]: c:WbUnArc -x500 -y10 [Arguments]: Checked [Current Directory]: Ram: That's all! You can use this exec object as a dock object, a menu-item or an appicon. With a dock, you have just to drop archive on a dock to extract it. Install: Copy WbUnArc where you want (c: for example). Check that lha and other are in your path (if they are in c:, it's ok). If you have a problem or if you want i spent more time on this little tool, mail-me. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This software is Freeware, but not in the public domain !
