- Short: Small utility to unpack files from Workbench

- WBx is short for Workbench Xtractor. It's a small utility intended to be
- used as a default tool in an Archive's project icon. WBx allows easy
- extraction of complete archives from the workbench, no need to go into a
- shell anymore. Lets you chose the target path in a small window.
-
- WBx is configurable, so you can use it with almost any archive type. It
- uses the Amiga's System() call to execute the appropriate archive
- program. Other features include:
-
- - Possibility to specify calling sequences in a brain file
-
- - Tool types in the icon override entries in the brain file
-
- - Freely configurable command line. You can use two special sequences
- for the archive name and target path. For example, the entry for a LHA
- type archive in the brainfile looks like this:
-
- LHA lha x %a %p
-
- The first is the file type (mostly a capitalization of the extensions).
- Next comes the command line used to extract the archive, with '%a' being
- a 'placeholder' for the archives actual name, and '%p' for the target
- path.
-
- - Also works with DMS/other disk compressors type archives.
-
- WBx is Do-what-you-want-with-it-but-dont-sell-it-for-profit-ware. See
- the docs for further details.
