+
+
+
+This is the libarchive archiving VFS (Virtual File System) plugin 
+for Tux Commander file manager. Uses libarchive library, providing access
+and routines for manipulation with the archives.
+
+By default, Tux Commander binary package comes with statically linked
+libarchive plugin, not requiring any libraries other than zlib and bzip2,
+which are pretty standard in modern linux distributions.
+
+
+Feature highlights:
+  *  read-only support for TAR, TAR.GZ, TAR.BZ2, ISO9660, CPIO, A (ar), 
+     DEB archives
+  *  full support for Unix file and directory permissions
+  *  large files (> 4GB) support
+  *  correctly handles sparse files
+
+To be implemented:
+  *  archive consistency testing (needs new VFS API)
+  *  write support (probably creating new archives only)
+  
+Requirements:
+  - system zlib and bzip2 libraries
+
+
+Static compilation (default):
+  - requires uudecode utility (sharutils package)  
+  - "make static"
+  - libz and libbz2 are still linked dynamically
+  - libarchive sources are included in plugin source tree, no need 
+    for any external files
+    
+Shared library compilation:
+  - requires libarchive library installed on your system
+  - "make shared"
+
+Compilation has been tested with gcc compiler version 4.2.3 and 4.3.0
