3. Archive File Software
========================
Digital Distortion Upload Processor comes with configuration settings to
handle extraction of ZIP, 7Z (7-Zip), RAR, ARJ, MSI, TAR, GZ, TGZ, and
TAR.GZ archives.
use various archivers to handle extraction of ZIP, 7Z (7-Zip), RAR, ARJ, MSI,
TAR, GZ, TGZ, and TAR.GZ archives. If you want to use other archiver programs,
you will need to update the configuration to modify the commands used.
The file format configuration file included with this script includes
extraction command lines (specified by an EXTRACT setting) for various
archivers for both Windows and Linux. In order for this script to work
properly, you will need to make sure you have the appropriate archiver
software installed on your system, and you will need to edit the
DDUPFileTypes.cfg file (using a text editor) and make sure you have
ddup_file_types.cfg file (using a text editor) and make sure you have
EXTRACT command lines set properly for your system. For information on
that configuration file, see section 6: Archive file type configuration
file.
Win32 command-line archivers have been included with this script for
convenience. Those archivers have been set up in DDUPFileTypes.cfg
to extract popular file formats (ZIP, 7Z (7-Zip), RAR, ARJ, MSI, TAR,
GZ, TGZ, and TAR.GZ). The Win32 archivers are in the Win32Archivers
directory. So if your BBS is running in Windows, the included
configuration file should work for you (although it does also have the
Linux command lines as comments). You will need to copy the files from
the Win32Archivers directory to a directory in your path or another
directory of your choice. If you copy them to a directory that is not
in your path, you will need to edit the DDUPFileTypes.cfg file to include
the full paths with the archive executables.

You will need to acquire the appropriate archiver programs for any archive
formats you want to use. These will need to be command-line archiver tools.
Command-line archiver tools are available for many archive formats. For Windows,
you can download them as needed, and for Linux, they may be available via your
package manager or as source that you can download and build for your system.

in the Win32Archivers directory will need to be placed in a directory

the appropriate archivers as described in the previous section.
