ABOUT
-----

 RNOArchive is a graphical archive manager, that can extract, modify and create
 archives. Extraction is handled by the XAD system and the program has built-in
 support for writing ZIP archives. Writing to other formats relies on separate
 Shell commands, and their availability and compatibility in the used system.


FEATURES
--------

 - Reads and extracts all archiving formats supported by the XAD system
 - Write/modify support for ZIP and LhA archives
 - Write/modify support for Tar if MorphOS SDK is installed (experimental, but
   supports Amiga file attributes)
 - Batch extraction for multiple archives
 - Automatic sub-directory creation for batch extracted archives
 - Archive browsing and file viewing
 - Filetype editor for configuring file viewers
 - Intelligent drag & drop support
 - Recursive adding of files/directories
 - Create new directories inside archives
 - Delete files and directories
 - Handles UTF-8 filenames in archives
 - Extensive file selection options


INSTALLATION
------------

 Just copy the program anywhere you want.


USAGE NOTES
-----------

 - Dragging & dropping an archive file onto the Single Archive tab opens it as
   a new archive.
 - Dragging & dropping several files onto the Single Archive tab writes the
   files immediately into the archive. It doesn't matter if files are archive
   files. Directories can be added in this way too.
 - Single or multiple files can be dropped onto the Batch Extract tab, as only
   readable archive files are added to the list.
 - If nothing is selected in the Single or Batch lists and the Extract button
   is clicked, all files will be extracted.
 - Double-clicked files are viewed according to the program's filetype settings
   in the Single Archive tab. Double-clicking in the Batch Extract tab extracts
   the archive.
 - The "Create new dir(s)" option in the Batch Extract tab extracts the
   archives into new sub-directories. For example, contents of "test.lha" would
   be extracted into a new "test.lha_ext/" directory.


SETTINGS
--------

 Program settings can be found in the program's pull-down menu and they will be
 saved to the ENVARC:Hollywood/com.wmhost.jpv.rnoarchive file.


COMMAND LINE OPTIONS AND ICON TOOLTYPES
---------------------------------------

 RNOArchive uses non-standard command line arguments. Arguments must be given
 in the form of (note the "-" prefix): -argument parameter

 Format:
  RNOArchive [file] [arguments]

 Arguments:
  -single . . . . - Opens the file as a single archive (default).
  -batch  . . . . - Adds the file to the batch extract list.
  -batchlist  . . - Adds files from a text file to the batch extract list.
  -new  . . . . . - Opens file(s) in a new instance of the program.
  -forcearos  . . - Assumes that the "unix version" of the LhA command is
                    available and disables error checking with LhA operations.
                    This is only useful on AROS. Use only at your own risk!
  -dest <dir> . . - Sets the default destination directory
  -source <dir> . - Sets the default source directory

 Examples:
  RNOArchive ram:test.lha -batch -new -dest=Work:
  RNOArchive batchlist.txt -batchlist

 The same arguments can be used as icon tooltypes, by omitting the "-" prefix.

 Examples:
  DEST=RAM:
  SOURCE=Work:Downloads
