A new standard of extendable filetype identification and ripper tool
all in one. It works together with standard interfaces like shell
(give arguments in commandline), Workbench (set tooltypes),
opus, arexx and appicon.

Highly configurable, for example: you can specify filetypespecific
savedirectorys and output filename extensions. Macros for custom
processing methods can be defined.

It can send outputs to external programs like multiview, ced, etc.

power of this tool by writing plugins.
