| Hi, I would like to introduce my archiver PeaZip; it is released under
LGPL and from this version I feel it's becoming, overall, quite an
interesting program.
PeaZip project home: http://sourceforge.net/projects/peazip/
1.2 release adds support to more archive types and features a new
archive browser interface; full changelog on
http://peazip.sourceforge.net/
(update notes and program description was cross posted to sofware
announce groups)
***
PeaZip is an OS portable archiver tool that supports its native Pea
archive format (featuring compression, split volumes, and flexible
encryption and integrity check schemes) and other mainstream formats,
with special focus on handling open formats.
Full support: 7Z, 7-Zip sfx, Bzip2, Gzip, PEA, split TAR and ZIP.
Browse/test/extract-only support for ARJ, CAB, CHM, CPIO, DEB, ISO,
LZH, NSIS installers, OOo files, RAR, RPM, Z.
PeaZip's UI aims giving aid to the user to: edit, save and restore
layout of archives (input files and folders list) to speed up
definition of archiving and backup operations; save job definition, as
plain text, to be used in scripts or for learning purpose; have a
detailed job log after each operation.
The interface is fully skinnable (skins can be customised and saved as
plain text to be re-edited as freely as possible) and uses customisable
transparency.
The program doesn't need to be installed/unistalled, it can run from
any path (even remote; a writeable path is recommended), however
Windows version is released both as a standalone binary and as a fully
automated installer/uninstaller package, allowing tight system
integration to use PeaZip right from Explorer.
PeaZip acts as a graphic frontend for Pea executable (graphical) from
the same Author and for Igor Pavlov's 7z executable (Myspace's 7z POSIX
port under Linux), that can run in console mode or through a graphical
wrapper to allow more user-friendly handling of output information.
