7 You can use this program to compress a directory or file into a
8 single, smaller file (which can be stored, emailed, etc).
10 You can also use it to extract a compressed archive back into a
11 file or directory structure.
13 It's written in python, so you don't need to compile it, but you do
14 need ROX-Lib2 and the pygtk2 package
15 (http://rox.sourceforge.net/rox_lib.php3).
17 ROX-Filer will come in handy, too.
21 - Drag the file or directory onto the Archive icon in a ROX-Filer window.
22 - Type in a name for the archive.
23 - Drag the icon back into a filer window to create the archive.
25 To extract an archive:
27 - Drag the compressed file to Archive.
28 - Enter a name for the file or directory to create.
29 - Drag the directory icon into a filer window to extract.
31 You can use ROX-Filer's `Set Run Action...' menu entry to make clicking
32 on a compressed file automatically run Archive on it.
34 The latest version of Archive (and ROX-Filer) is at:
36 http://rox.sourceforge.net
38 The savebox contains a menu of possible actions on the file. Normally, the
39 default is what you want.
