Midnight Commander ulzx

Midnight Commander extfs plugin for handling lzx Amiga archives.

Description

ULzx is an extfs plugin which can be used to browse and extract lzx archives, which are known almost exclusively from Amiga.

Due to limitations of unlzx tools, only reading is supported. Also be aware, that unlzx cannot extract files individually, so copying entire archive content is not recommended, since on every single file a full archive extract would be done, which in the end would have impact on performance.

Requirements

ULzx requires unlzx tool.

Installation

• install extfslib
• copy ulzx to ~/.local/share/mc/extfs.d/
• add or change entry for files handle in ~/.config/mc/mc.ext:

[lzx]
Regex=\.lzx$
RegexIgnoreCase=true
Open=%cd %p/ulzx://
View=%view{ascii} unlzx -v %f
