- ;That first line is how many lines/record in this archiver.bb2 file...
- ;very important, do not change. Allows future modifications to the
- ;file to be transparent to older programs.
- ;
- ;ARCHIVER.BB2, archiver control file for XBBS-OS/2, XGROUP and AV
- ;KEEP A COPY OF THIS ORIGINAL FILE FOR INFORMATION LATER!
- ;
- ;format for this archiver.bb2 file (each entry has 21 lines):
- ;
- ; 1st line: ID of archiver (like ARC, LHARC, PKZIP, etc.; human consumption)
- ; 2nd line: normal extension for archives (like ZIP, ARC, LZH; note no period)
- ; 3rd line: offset into file to signature
- ; 4th line: list command
- ; 5th line: extract command
- ; 6th line: extract w/ directories command
- ; 7th line: test archive command
- ; 8th line: add/create command
- ; 9th line: add/create w/ paths command
- ;10th line: add/create & recurse command
- ;11th line: move command
- ;12th line: move w/ paths command
- ;13th line: delete command
- ;14th line: signature (case sensitive, leading spaces count!
- ;15th line: startlist string
- ;16th line: endlist string
- ;17th line: old size position (all positions 0-based, -1 = not available)
- ;18th line: new size position
- ;19th line: file date position
- ;20th line: number of positions in dates (for "03 June 92" would be 3)
- ;21st line: file name position (absolutely required, of course)
- ;
- ;a semicolon demarks a comment. they may appear at any point *except*
- ;within the 21 lines of an archiver entry. comments are ignored by AV.
- ;
- ;note that all archiver strings should include the archiver's parameter to
- ;prevent it from stopping for input! also note that archive types are checked
- ;in order of their listing in this file. finally, this file is set up for
- ;the archivers I had lying around; if yours are different versions, you may
- ;have to modify this file. All archivers are OS/2 (or FAPI) versions.
- ;DOS archivers will NOT work. I said DOS archivers will NOT work.
- ;
- ;how archive listing works (for the curious):
- ;
- ;AV first tries to find a signature match. failing that, it checks
- ;to see if the file might be an ARC-format file. If the latter, READARC.CMD
- ;is spawned (by XBBS) with ARC as the first argument and v as the second,
- ;followed by the filename (AV spawns ARC directly). If the former, the list
- ;command is sent, followed by the filename. AV (and XBBS) then parses the
- ;resultant file using the start and end list lines and offsets in file lines
- ;listed in this file for the given archiver.
- ;
- ;Warning: I'm told there's a bug in some versions of 4OS2 that can cause
- ;a call to an archiver to fail if the archiver has an extension (i.e.
- ;UNZIP works, UNZIP.EXE doesn't). If things fail for no apparent reason
- ;and you're using 4OS2 you might keep it in mind.
- ;
- ;Sample C code to access this information is in sample.c in the AV
- ;distribution archive, and is free for the using in your own projects.

- ;
- ;Notes on modifying/updating this file:
- ;=====================================
- ;
- ;You can add as many archivers as you like to this file.
- ;here are some suggestions on how to go about it:
- ;
- ;list an archive with the archiver, redirecting to a disk
- ;file (ex. "ARC l AFILE.ARC > TEMP."). Load the resultant
- ;file into a text editor. Clip out the startlist and endlist
- ;strings and paste directly into this file on the appropriate
- ;lines; prevents errors due to typos when copying manually.
- ;Count the positions of filename, date, etc. and place on the
- ;appropriate line. Now run the archiver redirected to a file
- ;to get its help screen (ex. "ARC > TEMP." or "ZOO h > TEMP.").
- ;Look for the various command options (extract, list, etc.) and
- ;put them into the file on the appropriate lines -- remember to
- ;add the modifiers to prevent the archiver from stopping to ask
- ;questions! You could be in deep doo-doo if it's a detached
- ;process. While it may seem a pain in the arse to have to
- ;edit this file when an archiver changes its command structure
- ;or list format, at least it's something within your control;
- ;you don't have to wait for an update to AV. That means if I
- ;die tomorrow you'll still be able to use AV for years to come.
- ;
- ;Here's an example of an ARC listing (5.12mpl, command "ARC l"):
- ;
- ;----------------cut here----------------------
- ;Name Length Date
- ;============ ======== ========= <--this line is start-of-list
- ;MAKEFILE 374 28 Nov 89
- ;QSORT.C 14279 29 Nov 89
- ;QSORT.EXE 24629 29 Nov 89
- ;STUFF.H 371 29 Nov 89
- ; ==== ======== <--this line is end-of-list
- ;Total 4 39653
- ;----------------cut here----------------------
- ;
- ;Note the filename is in position 0, old length in position 1, and the
- ;date starts in position 2, with 3 parts, and there's no new length
- ;field (so it'd be -1). Compare that to the archiver entry for
- ;ARC 5.12mpl above and you should get a feel for what all those fields
- ;mean. Here's a diagram of how a file line breaks down:
- ;
- ;STUFF.H 371 29 Nov 89
- ; ^ ^ ^
- ; | | |
- ; | | +--Date starts in field 2, 3 parts (29, Nov, and 89)
- ; | |
- ; | +--Old file length, field 1
- ; |
- ; +--Filename, field 0 (count from 0, not 1)
- ;
- ;
- ;If you're adding an entirely new archive format, note that you can
- ;use 'C'-style \x<hexnumber> on the signature line in this file.
- ;For example, the \x1a in ARC 5.12mpl's signature line means AV will
- ;look for an ASCII 26 (text EOF marker) in position 0 (first byte, as
- ;indicated by ARC's line 3, the offset into a file for the signature)
- ;of a file to determine if it's an archive. If line 3's offset is
- ;negative, AV looks from the end of the file instead of the beginning.
- ;You can usually figure out what an archiver's signature is by looking
- ;at a few archives with a file viewing program like Vernon Buerg's
- ;LIST. By all means send me anything new you figure out for inclusion
- ;in future releases.
- ;
- ;
- ;You can have several entries for one type of archive in this file. AV
- ;tries entries sequentially to list the file until it finds one that works.
- ;If the first entry for a signature doesn't work, and AV finds one that
- ;does, it moves that entry to the top of the list and rewrites ARCHIVER.BB2
- ;to make future accesses faster. This allows me to list everything I can
- ;get entries for and let AV sort out what the user actually has that works.
- ;It also lets you, the user, create archives with more than one archiver that
- ;produces the same sort of archive (or with different switches, like one with
- ;LHArc producing -lh5- compression and one with it producing old, compatible
- ;-lh1- compression).
- ;
- ;
- ;always end file with blank line or comment
