I am happy to announce the first public version of gxTar, a
Gnome/GTK+ front-end to the common unix archiving utilities. gxTar
is naturally distributed under the GNU GPL.

gxTar is (yet another) Gnome/Gtk front-end to common archive
utilities under unix. The goal is to make it the winzip of the unix
world. Currently zip, gzip, & tar are supported with several
others (arj, rar, bzip2) coming soon. Current functionality
includes the ability to open archives, and to add, delete, extract,
and view files. Drag & drop support coming soon.

The current release has been tested on Linux with Gnome 0.30. It
is also possible to compile a Gtk version, though several features
are not present. The gtk version has been tested with glib 1.1.3
& gtk 1.1.2. Gzipped tars will not work on systems whose tar
does not have a ‘z’ option, this should be fixed soon.
