  The purpose of this project is to host web site and file download area for

Here is the description of atool:

atool is a script for managing file archives of various types (tar, tar+gzip,
zip etc). The main command is probably aunpack, extracting files from an
archive. It overcomes the dreaded "multiple files in archive root" problem by
first extracting to a unique subdirectory, and then moving back the files if
possible. aunpack also prevents local files from being overwritten by
mistake.

Other commands provided are apack (create archives), als (list files in
archives), and acat (extract files to standard out).

atool identifies archives by their file extension. Sometimes this is not
possible, for instance rar archives usually have varying numeric file
extensions. In those cases when atool can't identify the format, file(1) is
used instead. (atool can also be configured not to use file.)

atool is written in Perl.



Other Software Required:
