Any app which looks inside the archive will have to unpack it, but it does so in /tmp rather than in your own working dirs, then displays the result in one of its panels. >From there you can copy any of the contents to a dir of your choice, where it becomes a real dir/file you can manipulate at will. Krusader (needs some KDE) is probably the most powerful file manager around. I used it recently to look inside a Stage-3 tarball ( .tar.bz2 ): it took perhaps 1 min to display contents of the 120 MB archive. The manual is very good (with a few errors here & there). -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
