FreeArc

Archive format developed originally by @Bulat-Ziganshin.

This project aims to take the latest released sources (0.67) and modernize them to be buildable with a modern toolchain, and on a Mac.

Status

• Compiling C++ parts
• Compiling Haskell parts
• Linking
• Running
• Creating new FreeArc archives and extracting them
• Extracting existing FreeArc archives

Still needs to be done

• I have not looked at Unarc at all.
• Would be great to get my hands on on some actual FreeArc archives that were created by the original program

Removed

• GUIs
• Windows support
• Little-endian support
• FAR plugin
• Shell extensions
• Installers etc.
• Lua support

Prerequisites
