I see two issues here: 1) Is this info about archiv ioslaves in general usefull for Joe User? I'd say yes, at least I don't know what to write else, but I am open for any comment/improvement here. 2) If we use one gereralized doc for the archive ioslaves (makes a lot of sense imho), how to handle that? We have 5 groups of archive ioslaves afaik: bz/bz2, xz/lzma, zip/gzip, ar, krarc(zip+rar) Either defining some entities (name, extension etc.) in each header and pull in the text from a general docbook in kioslave directory or write one documentation for all archive ioslaves and and add all names/extensions/links to man pages etc to it? I am in faviour of the second solution? Any comments? What about 7z supported by ark afair? It is not implemented as ioslave, but as plugin? Thanks. -- Burkhard L?ck
