==== Description: ====
PeaZip is a cross-platform portable archiver.
Features archive volume spanning, compression, authenticated encryption;
allows to save jobs composed in GUI as command line. 
The program acts as frontend for some command line open source compressors,
with suitable licensing model form the user and from third parts.

Full support: 7Z, 7Z-sfx, BZip2, GZip/TGZ, PAQ8F, PAQ8JD, PAQ8L, PEA, QUAD,
split (.001), TAR, ZIP.

Browse/extract support: ACE, ARJ, CAB, CHM, CPIO, ISO, Java archives (JAR,
EAR, WAR), Linux installers (DEB, PET/PUP, RPM), LHA, LZH, PAK/PK3/PK4, Open
Office file types, RAR, Windows installers (NSIS, some MSI), Z.

Sources, documentation (.pdf) and precompiled binaries packages for Linux and
Windows are available on:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=178996

More information can be found on the project's webpage:
http://peazip.sourceforge.net/peazip.html

The project is developed in FreePascal using the open source IDE Lazarus
(LGPL): http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/


==== Other Software Required: ====
For compilation of sources in FreePascal Lazarus IDE is required.
For running the Linux binaries dependencies are usually satisfied on a
typical Linux system because almost of the libraries are statically linked;
if unresolved dependencies are found the first time peazip binary is started
it usually involves gtk/gdk related libraries, which are very standard and
widely available, so the problem should minimal for an average user and
however it is fully documented on the project's website.


==== Other Comments: ====
PeaZip version 1.7 is jet published on SourceForge however I have version
1.8, containing several improvements expecially for Linux platforms, ready to
be published.
Since SourceForge upload is down for unknown problems in those days I'm
looking to a new free software repository (and Savannah is probably the best)
to publish this 1.8 release and next releases of my work to avoid to be
blocked by similar problems in future.
