xad_fs 53.1

Short:        Filesystem for mounting archive files
Author:       Fredrik Wikstrom
Uploader:     Fredrik Wikstrom <fredrik a500 org>
Type:         disk/misc
Version:      53.1
Architecture: ppc-amigaos >= 4.1

Requirements:

AmigaOS >= 4.1

Installation:

Copy XADFileSystem L:
Copy MountXAD SYS:C/
Copy def_XAD0.info ENVARC:Sys/

Usage:

MountXAD <archive file>

After you are done with the archive file, unmount it with the Dismount command:

Dismount XAD0:

Or use MountXAD with DISMOUNT switch:

MountXAD <archive file> DISMOUNT

If you mount more than one archive at the same time the second one will use the
device name XAD1: and the third XAD2: and so on.

XADFileSystem unarchives files as they are accessed into a temporary directory.
By default this is placed in T: which is usually in RAM: so if you're going to
be using XADFS on archives with lots of big files you should consider pointing
this to a directory on your harddrive. This can easily be done with SetEnv
command:

SetEnv SAVE XADFS_TEMP_DIR <temp directory>

F.e. to make XADFS store temp files in DH1:Temp just type:

SetEnv SAVE XADFS_TEMP_DIR DH1:Temp
