Is there a unzip software out there...?
 

Is there a unzip software out there that unpacked,that will unpack
automatic.

Like when we take .tar file and drop into a dir. and unpack automatic.
Is there something like for linux.I know I have for WINDOWS 98,I hope MANDRAKE got one too.

:rolleyes:

You can use the info-zip utilities to manipulate ZIP archives with directories, if that's what you're talking about.

You can find them on rpmfind.net, search for zip.

What you need is unzipsfx - this is in the UnZip package for RH/MDK. This program should already have been installed on your Mandrake system - if not, grab the rpm from your closest mandrake mirror.

Simple unzipsfx usage instructions:

$ cat `which unzipsfx` letters.zip > letters
$ chmod 755 letters
$ zip -A letters

man unzipsfx for more information

Tar.gz answer??
 

I`m looking for to decompress tar.gz.
I have litle time to playing around in konsole(shell) I like quick and easy to decompress tar.gz.

type in

tar -xzf name_of_file.tar.gz

There is karchive http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/se...query=karchive and gnozip http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/se...p?query=gnozip , if you are talking about GUI tools. And they should come on your Mandrake CD's as well

You can allways use midnight commander it works well for that.

I use Lycoris Desktop/LX and in Konqueror, if you right click the file there is a selection to "extract here". it works with tar.gz, zip, and some others. Really nice conveinince feature...

I don't know if Karchive is the same thing as ark, if not, ark is a good gui tool. Also recently I have been checking out the ROX thing over at http://rox.sourceforge.net and they have another gui option that appears to be able to handle just about any form of compression I have ever come across.

Cool

Re: Decompression tools
 

Yep, Ark will handle almost any archiving algorithm natively, and you can add extensions for proprietary apps, such as RAR and ZOO.

I usually use tied2's method....Midnight Commander will decompress damn nearly anything!

So not much has changed in seventeen years? :study:

tar, 7zip, and various other CLI tools. Don't know of any that automatically does it via GUI. But I mostly don't use gui's. At least not for much more than a web browser and a terminal with a custom font.

zutils will handle most Linux compression tools automatically:
