Free rar archiver software for linux

Dada Mail 3.0.4 / 3.1 Alpha 1 is created to be a general purpose mailing list manager which is useful for small to medium organizations such as businesses, non-profit organizations and personal sites. A Mailing List Manager is a program that handles the subscriptions of a mailing list and in this case also sends out mailing list messages - emails that are received by everyone that is subscribed to the mailing list.

The goal in this perspective of Dada Mail is to be able to be easily installed and useful by a web-savvy person. This person does not have to be a professional web designer/developer. It is also hoped that there is much breathing room for the program to grow with the needs and expectations of whatever organization it is to be used for.

Dada Mail is also a many-tiered art project. The initial goal was to see how far a self-taught, admittedly poor math student could take a computer program, written from scratch. The answer it seems, is very very far. The idea being played with is of a person taking on a role that doesn't seem to fit them well and flourishing. This wasn't acting, this was real life. Four Years is a Long Time.

Dada Mail is also used to question the idea on what a piece of software is and what it isn't, making definitions such as "name", "function", "purpose", slippery. The creator of Dada Mail, Justin Simoni, has many more credentials as an Artist, attending the Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design as a senior in their Drawing and Painting program, than he does as a Software Engineer, of which credentials he has none, except the time he has spent with projects, like Dada Mail.

Major Features :

1. Dada Mail is a Web-Based System. You don't need to remember cryptic commands to send to a special address just to have the program e-mail you back telling you youre wrong. You administrate your lists using a control panel you view through your web browser like Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.
2. Dada Mail Supports an Unlimited Number of Mailing Lists. Dada Mail was made from the start to be expandable. Each list can be managed separately with a different password for protection. Setting up a list can take as little as a minute to make! All list information can be changed at any time.
3. Dada Mail Is Customizable. Most pages generated by Dada Mail can be wrapped in a template a look and design that you want your list to have. Dada Mail can look exactly like the rest of your web site, making less of a separate CGI script and more a part of your web site that comes alive to your visitors. Messages Dada Mail sends can also be customized, you get to word exactly how you want your messages sent. Even the signup form that you can put on any page of your web site can be changed for your taste automatically.
4. Dada Mail Archives List Messages. Dada Mail keeps an archive of every mass mailing message it sends and also provides a simple way to view them. Archiving can be paused and archives can be hidden from your visitors but not from you the list owner.
5. Dada Mail Supports Announce-Only and Group Lists. You can extend Dada Mail with a script that's included with Dada Mail to send list messages from your own e-mail client, like Eudora or Outlook. Group Lists can be setup easily from your control panel and you can set up a thriving group discussion list.
6. Dada Mail Is Free! There is no need to have you make a decision on picking a mailing list manager by giving you a crippled "version" and then only give you the real version after you pay money for a piece of software that may not do what you really need.
   
7. Dada Mail is Supported! This entire site is provided to answer any questions you have and help you even when your Dada is installed.
   
8. Dada Mail is Easy To Use. Hard things are easy in Dada Mail. They should be. Features you don't need can be turned off if wanted. All error messages give you precise information on what went wrong and how to use it. Its more advice on how to do what your doing better than telling you youre wrong.
9. Dada Mail is Powerful. In minutes you can set up your entire list system, with announce-only lists for special e-mailings and group lists for discussion. Dada Mail can even be enhanced with the help of other programs like Majordomo another list manager and Mhonarch, an e-mail archiver.

- Zip archives (.zip)
- Jar archives (.jar , .ear , .war)
- Lha archives (.lzh)
- Rar archives (.rar)
- Single files compressed with gzip, bzip, bzip2, compress, lzop
File Roller has a document viewer based on bonobo that lets you view files of any type you have a viewer for.
Whats New in 2.18.4 Stable Release:
- Updated Hungarian translation.

PeaZip project is an archiver tool that supports its native Pea archive format (featuring compression, split volumes, and flexible encryption and integrity check schemes) and other mainstream formats, with special focus on handling open formats.
Full support: 7Z, 7-Zip sfx, Bzip2, Gzip, PEA, split TAR and ZIP.
Browse/test/extract-only support for ARJ, CAB, CHM, CPIO, DEB, ISO, LZH, NSIS installers, OOo files, RAR, RPM, Z.
PeaZips UI aims giving aid to the user to: edit, save and restore layout of archives (input files and folders list) to speed up definition of archiving and backup operations; save job definition, as plain text, to be used in scripts or for learning purpose; have a detailed job log after each operation.
The interface is fully skinnable (skins can be customised and saved as plain text to be re-edited as freely as possible) and uses customisable transparency.
The program doesnt need to be installed/unistalled, it can run from any path (even remote; a writeable path is recommended), however Windows version is released both as a standalone binary and as a fully automated installer/uninstaller package, allowing tight system integration to use PeaZip right from Explorer.
PeaZip acts as a graphic frontend for Pea executable (graphical) from the same Author and for Igor Pavlovs 7z executable (Myspaces 7z POSIX port under Linux), that can run in console mode or through a graphical wrapper to allow more user-friendly handling of output information.
Enhancements:
- Release 1.9 introduces several updates, new functions and interface enhancements over 1.8 series, based on feedback collected on previous 1.8 release series, featuring a substantially renewed user interface driven to a cleaner design and better usability. The layout composer and the archive browser were improved, introducing multiple selection, AZ/ZA sorting, better designed popup menus, options organized in a tabs, archive browsing navigation bar, recent archives history and many other under the hood usability improvements; see change log for a detailed description.

scdbackup is a simplified CD/DVD backup program for Linux. It can back up large amounts of data on one or more media, with no special tools needed for reading the backup. scdbackup supports ISO9660 filesystems and afio archives.
Its special features are automatic division of data into multiple volumes, verification of write success, and incremental backups. An information script on each volume tells where a certain file may be found. CDs get written via cdrecord. DVDs get written via growisofs.
Purpose:
- backup large amounts of data on one or more CDs or DVDs,
- simple (therefore no excuse not to do the backup),
- no special tool needed for reading the backup
Formats:
- ISO9660 file systems (readable after : mount )
- afio archives (readable by : afio ... /dev/cdrom)
Special features:
- Breaks the 650 MB / 4.7 GB limits (more than one CD / DVD )
- Information script on each CD tells where a certain file may be found
- Collision test with renaming avoids aborting of mkisofs
- Interrupted backups can be resumed at the start of the failed piece
- Verification of resulting CDs possible by recorded checksums
- Incremental backups with an arbitrary number of levels
- Multi user safe by use of a locking protocol
Hardware requirements:
A CD recorder suitable for cdrecord (most SCSI or ATAPI writers, see also list of drives ) It has to be reachable via a SCSI address. On modern Linux systems, other connection types can be used via an emulated SCSI bus. Recent versions of cdrecord got direct support for IDE burners via address prefixes ATAPI: and ATA: .
As an alternative, it is possible to use cdrskin, based on libburn.
and/or
A DVD writer suitable for growisofs. It has to be reachable via a SCSI device file. On modern Linux systems, other connection types can be used via an emulated SCSI bus. On even more modern Linux (>= 2.5), growisofs can use IDE device files directly.
As an alternative, it is possible to use cdrecord-ProDVD.
If you got any other high capacity backup devices which you want to use rather than a CD recorder then please contact me. I am interested in learning how to use them for writing of backup data.
Software requirements :
/bin/sh
compatible to GNU Bourne-Again SHell (bash).
including usual programs like: cat, date, du, echo, ls, ...
see hints for working around shell compatibility problems
afio
archiver program (for system backups)
gzip
data compression program (for compressed afio and incremental backups)
bc
calculator language (only if you employ the locking protocol)
Required for writing DVD :
growisofs
from package "dvd+rw-tools"
or cdrecord-ProDVD (see README, Appendix DVD)
a binary with time limited license
Enhancements:
- scdbackup now supports wodim and cdrskin as CD/DVD burn backends, as well as the ISO9660 formatter genisoimage.
- The helper application scdbackup_askme is able to quickly find files in large incremental backups, to guide through extraction of single files, or to perform the full restore of a whole backup.

p7zip is a port of 7za.exe for POSIX systems like Unix (Linux, Solaris, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Cygwin, ...), MacOS X and BeOS.
7za.exe is the command line version of 7-zip.
7-Zip is a file archiver with highest compression ratio.
Since 4.10, p7zip (like 7-zip) supports little-endian and big-endian machines.
INSTALL:
method 1
- edit install.sh to change DEST_HOME
- ./install.sh : to install
Remark : you must be "root" to install 7za in the directory "/usr/local"
method 2
- 7za is a stand-alone program, you can put this program where you want. example : cp bin/7za /usr/local/bin/7za
- 7z needs its plugins. You must copy the file 7z and the two directories Formats and Codecs in the same destination directory.
- if you want to be able to create SFX archive, copy bin/7zCon.sfx to the directory where 7za or 7z can be found.
Enhancements:
- Bug was fixed: 7-Zip 4.50 beta could not open some .7z archives.
New switch for command line version:
-ssc[-] enables/disables case-sensitive mode for file names.
- Speed optimizations for AES encryption.
- Some bugs were fixed.
- fix built of test_emul
- contrib/gzip-like_CLI_wrapper_for_7z/p7zip now supports commands like :
p7zip -- -name
p7zip "file name"
p7zip file1 file2 file3
p7zip -d file1.7z file2.7z file3.7z

Gambas is a free development environment based on a Basic interpreter with object extensions, like Visual Basic (but it is NOT a clone !).
With Gambas, you can quickly design your program GUI, access MySQL or PostgreSQL databases, pilot KDE applications with DCOP, translate your program into many languages, create network applications easily, and so on...
This project aims at making a graphical development environment based on a Basic interpreter, so that we have a language like Visual Basic under Linux.
The phenomenal quantity of bugs and inconsistencies that makes Visual Basic so delightful persuaded me to start this project.
It seems that Microsoft is aware of the poor quality of its language, as VB .Net is not backward compatible with older versions of Visual Basic. I think they have thrown away the Visual Basic interpreter source code, and that VB .Net is just a .Net runtime compiler whose syntax looks like the Visual Basic one. Well, its just my own opinion...
I want to clear up any misunderstanding immediately. Gambas does not try to be compatible with Visual Basic, and will never be. Im convinced that its syntax and internals are far better than the ones of its proprietary cousin.
I took from Visual Basic what I found useful : the Basic language, the development environment, and the easiness to quickly make programs with user interfaces.
But I dislike the very bad level of common Visual Basic programmers, often due to bad pratices imposed by the bugs and strangeness of this language. So I will try to make Gambas as coherent, logical and reliable as possible, and I hope that Gambas programmers will make effort in return !
At the moment, Im looking for programming help. The kernel of Gambas is now stabilized, if not well documented. There is a component example to help people learning how to write components.
I hope other people will join me to help to increase the possibilities of the language. There is so much to do !
Gambas is made up of the following programs :
- A compiler.
- An interpreter.
- An archiver.
- A graphical user interface component.
- A development environment.
The development environment is written with Gambas itself, so that I can show the abilities of the language. And it is very useful for debugging !
Enhancements:
Development Environment
- NEW: Russian translation made by Sergey Irupin.
Interpreter
- BUG: Fixed a crash when displaying an error while reading the .project file.
Gb.db.mysql Component
- BUG: Fixed memory leaks.

Optar stands for OPTical ARchiver. This project is a codec for encoding data on paper. Optar fits 200kB on an A4 page, then you print it with a laser printer. If you want to read the recording, scan it with a scanner and feed into the decoder program.

A practical level of reliability is ensured using forward error correction code (FEC). Automated processing of page batches facilitates storage of files larger than 200kB.
