The program is born one to eliminate the Development tools from distributions since you work on Linux for development and then to create something more innovative, it will be multi-platform.
We have found problems with some types of archives on Aros, 7ZIP is not present in the Hollywood plugin, so you will need to resort to ZuneArc or directly at the command line

The program on the other platforms works well, because they have all available XAD plugins, on Aros you will also have to resort to ZuneArc for 7ZIP files, unfortunately there are no xad clients of this type, in conclusion it seems to be a quite unique app in its kind :)

The full support for the LHA files has been added, before there were problems, as soon as a new beta will be available :)

This is an early beta version of RNOArchive, don't trust it doing everything
as expected, and please report if you find any issues!

!!! Please do not upload this on any public file repository !!!


Beta 0.2:

- Re-wrote the whole extracting part with lower level functions, it should use
  less memory and be generally faster. I had to handle overwriting, protection
  bits/dates, error situations etc myself now, but hopefully got it all done.
- LhA support extended for "unix lha", which is found in AROS distributions,
  but argh, how can you redirect lha output on AROS? Still WIP after all.
- Preparations for different zip encoders (The GUI setting doesn't work yet),
  I'll probably wait for the zip.hwp plugin update before releasing the program
  to get it more compatible with old programs on our Amiga compatible platforms
