Other Appz useful for running next to Newsbin on Wine

Postby Koeroemaya » Wed Nov 09, 2005 5:55 pm

Appz like QuickPar, WinRAR and others run quite good under wine on linux too ...

QuickPar for Windows:

http://www.quickpar.org.uk/

WinRAR for windows:

http://www.rarlabs.com/

7-zip for windows (GNU LGPL license):

http://www.7-zip.org/

In most cases installation is very simple ...

wine setup.exe ....... and after come clicks ... you are on your way ...

to be able to start these new apps from the desktop .. i setup an icon on my desktop .. so i can start it from the desktop ..

.. like one can in windows too ...

i can make a post about this later .. if people dont know how to do this .. :)

If you feel comfy on the commandline .. one can also unpack rar archives from the command line ... with linux tools ...

unrar ... does this on linux .. for rar archives

p7zip ... does this on linux .. for 7-zip archives
(btw p7zip is a port of 7za.exe for windows)
from the commandline on fedora one has to type 7za .. though ..

e.g.:

[username@localhost ~]$ 7za

7-Zip (A) 4.29 beta Copyright (c) 1999-2005 Igor Pavlov 2005-09-28

I prefer par2cmdline and unrar for linux. They are both made for linux and work very well. Neither is GUI, though.

For native par/par2 support in Linux with a GUI, try gpar2. I have been using it in Ubuntu for a couple of months, and I really like it.
