ark, lnxzip
Included in SuSE.
Yeah, I wondered about that. I've been installing SuSE since version 6 (or maybe 5...), and I recall that ark was always available, but the YaST description always gave the impression that it was out-dated, and included only for historical compatibility reasons. So, I never bothered to load it. Yet, I've seen mention of ark as being used to open old ark files and new zip files. What's the poop? Is it still maintained and in regular use? What's the most useful all-round [un]zipper/archiver for those who don't use fancy features, but who need the standard features for both Linux and Windows compressed file handling? /kevin
