DoArc

DoArc is a tool for extracting, creating, viewing or converting all types of
archives. It acts as a frontend for all your archivers (LhA, Lzx, Zip etc) and
once it is configured you only need to use one command when working with
archives.

You can pass arguments to DoArc on the command line or it can be driven entirely
through requesters. And you can mix and match - requesters will pop up and ask
for any arguments not supplied on the commandline.

DoArc has support for the XAD unarchiving system. You can use XAD as a master
unpacker/viewer and override it for specific archive formats (Say, if you want
to use a PPC unpacker for lzx archives).
The XAD support is fully automatic - you don't have to specify if it is a
file or a diskarchive and tar and dms unpacking is handled automatically.

As a archive converter DoArc (Unlike the typical lha to lzx converters) can be
configured to convert to and from any archive format you like.
Examples: gz to zip, tgz to lha, dms to lha (!) and of course lha to lzx.
You can also repack archives (Eg: lzx standard compression to lzx maximum
compression), DoArc detects this and renames the original archive.

When specifying which archive files to process you can use standard c:List
syntax. This means you can use wildcards and the ALL, PAT, etc options. 
Eg: "DoArc CONVERT file:downloads ALL PAT #?.zip LHA" will convert all zip
archives in file:downloads (And subdirectories!) to lha archives.

More features:

* You don't have to worry about archive names with spaces (Or dots) in the
  path. DoArc uses a few tricks to circumvent such problems, without
  changing the original files of course. This also applies when creating
  archives - ie: You can create archives with any silly name you like :-)

* A lot of work has been put into making DoArc exit as cleanly as possible
  if an error occurs or you send it a CTRL-C.

* DoArc displays the filenote of an archive if it has any and...

* When converting archives DoArc automatically copies any filenote from
  the original archive to the new.

      Note: DoArc is the succesor of arc2arc. Basically DoArc does all
      that arc2arc did (Converting archives) + lots lots more :-)
