I just mailed Arcgsh V3.0 to Steven Grimm, the moderator of
comp.binaries.atari.st. So it will show up in that newsgroup really soon
now. To let you know what Arcgsh offers here is an extract from the
README file:
Arcgsh is a program that eases the calling of the well-known
archivers Zoo, Arc, LHarc and Shar. Furthermore the programs Uud
and Uue are supported to let you decode resp. encode binary files
for handling with e-mail. You can use your favorite file viewer
and your favorite editor from Arcgsh without any need to leave
the program.
With Arcgsh it is no longer neccessary to start a command-line-
shell, "cd" to the directory where your archive file is (or
should be created), remember the various archiver options (each
archiver has it's own set of options), type them in and finally
start the program. With Arcgsh you can handle everything with GEM
objects: Dialog boxes let you select program options, and
filenames are comfortably selected using the GEM file selector
box.
Arcgsh serves especially well for uudecoding and unarcing any
stuff received from computer networks. The programs ZOO.TTP,
ARC.TTP, LHARC.TTP, UUD.TTP, UUE.TTP, and SHAR.TTP are not part
of the Arcgsh distribution. You have to get them elsewhere.
New in this version:
- LHarc is supported.
- Arc version 6.02 is supported. (The former version was
5.21.)
- Again a new and very different configuration file
format. You cannot use your old configuration file any
more. Please create a new one! (A conversion aid from
old to new format is not given.)
- Documentation is in LaTeX format now.
- A huge bunch of internal code revirement has been done.
Some of it you will notice: TOS 1.4 support, the file
selection handler (a la Zoo dialog box) for all programs
(except Uud and Uue).
