Midnight Commander ulzx
=======================
Midnight Commander extfs plugin for handling lzx Amiga archives.
Description
===========
ULzx is an extfs plugin which can be used to browse and extract lzx archives,
which are known almost exclusively from Amiga.
Due to limitations of
`unlzx <ftp://us.aminet.net/pub/aminet/misc/unix/unlzx.c.gz.readme>`_ tools,
only reading is supported. Also be aware, that
`unlzx <ftp://us.aminet.net/pub/aminet/misc/unix/unlzx.c.gz.readme>`_ cannot
extract files individually, so copying entire archive content is not
recommended, since on every single file a full archive extract would be
done, which in the end would have impact on performance.
Requirements
------------
ULzx requires
`unlzx <ftp://us.aminet.net/pub/aminet/misc/unix/unlzx.c.gz.readme>`_ tool.
Installation
------------
* install `extfslib`_
