Short: Bugfix of the best ->LZX repacker, GUI! Author: avallino@ufr.lirmm.fr (Andrea Vallinotto) Uploader: avallino@ufr.lirmm.fr (Andrea Vallinotto) Type: util/arc Requires: OS2.0+, reqtools.library and rexxreqtools.library, LZX 1.20 and various unarchivers Replaces: util/arc/Repack35.lha Version: 3.5b This is Repack version 3.5b, a bugfix of version 3.5. New in version 3.5b: - fixed broken code that prevented correct use with multi-archives. Now it work as it should. - fixed Tar-gzipped extraction and managment. 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 -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 17666 7059 60.0% 08-Feb-97 15:01:48 repack.doc.English 22666 7746 65.8% 08-Feb-97 14:40:36 Repack.rexx 17666 6070 65.6% 08-Feb-97 14:33:02 Repack.rexx.BBS 1252 647 48.3% 01-Apr-96 23:22:16 Repack.rexx.info 1876 999 46.7% 08-Feb-97 13:24:36 Repack35b.readme 1793 909 49.3% 28-Nov-96 17:14:06 repack_multiselect.rexx 3390 919 72.8% 08-Feb-97 14:10:48 repack_multiselect.rexx.info 1666 729 56.2% 08-Feb-97 14:57:10 +repack.ano -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 67975 25078 63.1% 15-Feb-97 16:27:22 8 files
