XArchive
========

A gtk2.0 front-end for various command line archiving programs.  
(no gnome needed)

The idea is to have a generic front end for archives that uses external
wrappers around the command line archiving tools.

Compiling:
==========
You'll need the development files for gtk+-2.0 version >= 2.6.0 
(libgtk2.0-dev under Debian, gtk2-devel under Fedora/Redhat).
The wrappers also need a version of Awk installed (you probably 
already have one: awk, mawk, or gawk) and Bash.

Then you should be able to:

./configure
make
# switch to root somehow (su, or sudo) then:
make install

NOTE: installs in "/usr/local", use "./configure --prefix=/usr" to change.

and run:
xarchive
or 
xarchive somename.tar.gz

You'll probably want to install some, or all, of the command line tools 
the wrappers use:

tar-wrap.sh 
    tar        (needed if you want any tar support) 
    bzip2      (if you want tar.bz2 support)
    gzip       (if you want tar.gz support) 
    uncompress (comes with gzip, or debian package ncompress)
    compress   (if you want to create tar.Z file, debian package ncompress)
zip-wrap.sh 
    unzip      (needed for zip, zipinfo comes with unzip)
    zip        (optional, if you want to be able to create zips)
rar-wrap.sh
    rar        (needed for creating and modifying rar's, debian package rar)
    unrar      (if you only want to view and extract rar's)
ace-wrap.sh
    unace      (needed for viewing and extracting ace, debian package unace)
7za-wrap.sh
    7za        (needed for 7zip "7z" files, debian package p7zip)
arj-wrap.sh
    arj        (needed for arj files, debian package arj)
rpm-wrap.sh
    rpm        (needing to view rpm files, debian package rpm)
    cpio       (needed to extract from rpm's)
deb-wrap.sh
    dpkg       (needed to view deb's.  Uses tar for extraction)

note: rpm and deb support is for view and extracting only, the
appropriate packaging tools should be used to create or modify
deb's and rpm's.
