- Short: Fully featured ->LZX repacker, with GUI!
- Uploader: jan@pmn.it (Jan Pasotto)
- Author: Andrea Vallinotto (2:334/21.13@fidonet.org)
- Type: util/arc
- Requires: OS2.0, reqtools.library and rexxreqtools.library, LZX 1.21 and
- various unarchivers
- Version: 3.3
-
-
- This is Repack version 3.3, an enhancement over version 1.0 by Mat Bettinson
- and version 1.22 by myself.
- 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!!!
