Archive Viewer is a very simple GUI tool for viewing and extracting archive files of various types. It originated as a system utility included in eComStation (and it remains so to this day). It cannot create archives.
The Archive Viewer can handle the following types of archive file:
- ZIP archives (*.zip)
- Unix-style tape archives (*.tar)
- Both tape archives (above) and single files which have been compressed using 'compress' (*.Z), 'gzip' (*.gz, *.tgz), 'bzip2' (*.bz2) or 'lzip' (*.lz).
- RAR archives (*.rar)
- ARJ archives (*.arj)
- JAR archives (*.jar)
- 7Z archives (*.7z)
- LHArc archives (*.lzh, *.lha)
- WarpIN archives (*.wpi)
- RPM packages (*.rpm)
Each of these types of archive support requires specific programs to be installed.
