ANNOUNCE: gxTar 0.0.3

[gandalf pobox com]

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.

Suggestions, bug reports, etc are always wanted at gandalf@pobox.com
