WarpArchiver V1 Beta
I am about to release WarpArchiver Version 1, for beta testing
Basically many years ago I wrote a front end to tar.gz files TarGzipPm,
this is an updated version, but has been totally rewritten, both in
terms of the qui layouts, as well as the actual rexx coding.
It NOW DEMANDS Object Rexx as your default interpretor
Warparchiver now includes support for more files types including:
zip,
zoo (read, create, modify etc)
RPM Red hat Package manager files (read only, to start with)
Microsoft Cab file (read only, both cab,and self extracting files)
tar and gzip formats (read, update,create,extract),
wpi files (read and extract only, including exe files),
arj (read, update, create, extract -including self extracting),
rar (read, extract, update)
other format will be included later,
The first release will be able to:
a) extract file
b) view files
c) update file
d) create archive files (not including Ms Cab or RPM files)
e) convert file types eg zip to arj, arj to exe etc.... Working on this
at present.
File type are now determined by examining the file header, so for
example, it will be able to open office documents or *.xpi , which are
basically zip files)
The application is internet aware so if you don't have the correct
helper app it will give the opportunity to either download it from
hobbes or locally, and install it on the fly
By version beta 3, it will include an auto updater, not sure how long
this will take
anyway let me know if you are interested, you can have a peek at it
here http://www.irusdev.co.uk/ I will update this next weeks end, or
soon if I have time
Anyway please email me if you are interested in beta testing this
freeware program, particularly if you have any suggestions !
Kind Regards
Adrian Suri

yep ... it demands it because it uses Object Rexx's build in class, plus
it is made up of its own class hierarchy .... IN this sense different
archive types are all subclass of a basic "Archiver" class
