Wow. If I can be of help let me know. Some of those formats you can get
from the source of my ShrinkWrap module.

And now, only a few weeks later...no support for the "Garbled" or
"DES" encryption yet, but anyway...

I have just released a first version of ArchiveReader, a new tool from my
ever-expanding set of "not on RISC OS, but for RISC OS" Java utilities.

Thanks to James Woodcock's riscosarc project, it can read typical RISC OS
archive formats like Spark/ArcFS, PackDir, CFS and Squash. ZIP is also
supported, this is done via Java's standard ZIP format handling slightly
extended by me to decode filetype information from the extra field data.

It comes with a simple GUI that shows the archive's content in a tree view
with the original RISC OS 3.1 !NewLook file icons. From there, you can
extract single files via Drag&Drop or traditional filechooser.

It runs anywhere where Java 7 or later is available, i.e. Linux, Solaris,
MacOS and Windows. Java needs to be installed on your system.

There are two distribution archives - a generic "Java" distribution with
a runnable Jar file and a bat starter for Windows as well as a shell starter
for Linux, and a "Windows" distribution with a true "exe" file that starts
Java under the hood to execute the Jar.

Download the generic Java distribution:

Download the Windows specific distribution:

Have fun
