(DOS/Windows) - May
12, 2002 Edition
This is the archiver index page for the
DOS/Windows archivers tested in ACT. It contains links
to the author's web page if available or to download the archiver
itself, the author's e-mail address, information
about the archiver such as compression algorithms used, special
features available and minimum system requirements.
More archiver entries and more info such as which file formats each
archiver can create/read will follow in the
future.
Many of these programs can be downloaded
from the SAC Pack Archive.
Note, due to all the spamming efforts
recently I have removed the mailto: links for the authors
and put a space before and after the @ in their e-mail address. Copy
any paste their e-mail address and then remove
the spaces to contact them.
Features Legend:
A = Authentication Verification (Security Envelope)
E = Encryption (Ability to encrypt/garble files in archive with
password)
G = GUI (Graphical or Text Shell to manage archiver functions)
L = Windows Long Filename Support
M = Multi Disk Spanning (Ability to span an archive over two or more
disks)
P = Data Protection Encoding (Stores Error Recovery Info)
S = Solid Archives (All files compressed together as one instead of
individually)
X = SFX (Ability to create Self-Extracting Archives)
