graphics\overbutt.gifEditing files in an archive

You can add or delete files in an archive. Deleting a file is permanent however, Archive Administrator prompts you before completing the deletion. You can sort the files in an archive by Name, Permissions, Owners/Groups, Size, or Date. You can also arrange your sorted files in ascending or descending order, regardless of the sort option you choose.

Archived files are read-only. You can view an archived file, however, if you change the contents of the file, you must save the file under a different filename.

To make changes to a compressed file, for example to edit a text file, you must extract the file from the archive and open it in an application. Extracting a file makes a copy of that file so if you want to save the changes to its archive, you have to add it back into the archive.
