UNRAR plugin for Tux Commander Version: 0.3.7 Release date: 2009-Oct-25 Copyright (C) 2007-2009 Tomas Bzatek http://tuxcmd.sourceforge.net This plugin uses UNRAR sources v3.8.2 Copyright (C) Alexander L. Roshal http://www.rarlab.com/ See unrar/license.txt for licensing conditions This is the RAR archiving VFS (Virtual File System) plugin for Tux Commander file manager. It incorporates unrar sources, which are statically linked thus no additional system libraries or utilities are required. This plugin is pretty stable for normal use at the current version. Feature highlights: * read-only support for RAR archives * full support for Unix file and directory permissions * password protected archives are supported * multidisk archives support * large files (> 4GB) support * can handle self-extracting .exe archives (when renamed to .rar) To be implemented: * archive consistency testing (needs new VFS API) The current VFS implementation in Tux Commander lacks some extended features for both archiving and remote filesystems. This is one of the main goals for the 0.6.x series. For successful compilation you will need working gcc and g++ compiler and glib2 library installed with development files. The unrar sources are included in the plugin tree, no external files are required. Compilation has been tested with gcc compiler version 4.4.2
