Short: Fully featured ->LZX repacker, with GUI! Author: Andrea Vallinotto (2:334/21.13@fidonet.org) Uploader: jan@pmn.it (Jan Pasotto) Type: util/arc Requires: OS2.0, reqtools.library and rexxreqtools.library, LZX 1.21 and various unarchivers Version: 3.3 This is Repack version 3.3, an enhancement over version 1.0 by Mat Bettinson and version 1.22 by myself. Repack stands for: Recursive Enhanced Pratical Archive Conversion Kit. It's an Arexx script that converts entire directories of archives of various formats to LZX. It's better than any other similar LZX repacker because: - all the operating parameters can be chosen through Reqtools requesters or on the command line. - it repacks archives RECURSIVELY! This comes very useful if you need to convert those distribution made of many .lha files archived together. - can handle most of the used archivers|packers: Lha, Arc, Zoo, Pak, Zip, Arj, Rar, Xarc, Hpack, Gzip, Tar, Tar-gzipped. - works either on single files or entire directories. - is SAFE! If anything goes wrong while repacking, no harm will be done to the original files. - includes a special option, called 'BBS mode' made especially for BBS like DLG-pro or C-Net; if this mode is enabled, Repack will copy the original comment and datestamp of the old archive to the new .LZX . - there's also a one-shot single-file version useful for C-Net systems. - works even with nasty file and directories names that includes spaces. - can recurse through sub-directories. - has an add-and-omit files option (to get rid of or add #?.displayme kind of files - see doc!). - can take advantage of the registered version of LZX. - has a log file. It's FREEWARE so enjoy!!! ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 12944 5598 56.7% 01-Dec-95 12:29:14 repack.doc.English 14215 6120 56.9% 01-Dec-95 12:29:18 repack.doc.Italian 1717 952 44.5% 01-Dec-95 12:18:02 Repack.readme 19395 6794 64.9% 01-Dec-95 11:09:50 Repack.rexx 15875 5690 64.1% 01-Dec-95 12:07:50 Repack.rexx.BBS 1178 558 52.6% 01-Dec-95 12:55:00 Repack.rexx.info 221 166 24.8% 01-Dec-95 12:12:48 +repack.ano -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 65545 25878 60.5% 03-Dec-95 10:43:14 7 files
