(ACT 2.0) - July 1999 Edition

This page is the new archiver index page. This format contains both the contact and download information from the previous style index, plus it includes the information found in the old Archive Table page and also includes which compression algoritms are used (if known). As you can see, I have only had time to add some of the entries. More entries will appear over time and eventually it should be completed.

Features Legend:
A = Authentication Verification (Security Envelope)
E = Encryption (Ability to encrypt/garble files in archive with password)
G = GUI (Graphical or Text Shell to manage archiver functions)
L = Windows Long Filename Support
M = Multi Disk Spanning (Ability to span an archive over two or more disks)
P = Data Protection Encoding (Stores Error Recovery Info)
S = Solid Archives (All files compressed together as one instead of individually)
X = SFX (Ability to create Self-Extracting Archives)
