- PowerArchiver is extremely easy to use! To open an archive
- simply double click on an archive listed in the File Manager
- or Explorer, or use the standard Open dialog. The main
- PowerArchiver window features a list box with the names, sizes,
- and date/time stamps of all files in the open archive.
- This list can be scrolled and sorted on any field. A Toolbar
- provides fast access to commonly used actions. All options
- (including window size and position) are saved and restored.
- Double clicking on a file in the main window has the same
- effect as double clicking in the File Manager or Explorer.
- First the file is extracted from the archive. If the file is
- executable, it is run. Otherwise, the file is opened by the
- appropriate application (for example, Windows Write for *.WRI
- files) based on standard Windows associations.
