Hi!
I am pleased to announce that the next release of
RPM Browser for Windows is available for download at
the website:
http://www.concentric.com/~lyates/
RPM Browser for Windows is a WIN 95/98/NT tool for Linux users.
Browse RPM files from the Windows platform and extract files via
32-bit port of CPIO for those long filenames.
These version clears up a few of the remaining
"known problems".
What's New as of 10/11/98.
1. RPM Tag selection and Directory settings saved.
2. Customizable internet links.
3. Header signature information available.
4. Thorough HELP system implemented.
5. Additional toolbar shortcuts.
6. Enhanced installation.
7. Miscellaneous internal tweaks for added efficiency and stability.
Future development includes:
1. Batch mode operation - the ability to process many RPMs in
one session with multiple report windows.
2. Enhanced report format - color-coded, user selectable fonts,
multiple report layouts.
3. Linux OS interface - process RPMs directly from Linux
partition.
4. MANPAGE viewer - read extracted Linux docs in MANPAGE format.
5. Support for BZIP'ed archives.
...and I depend on you for your own suggestions, comments, bug
reports (if any), etc...
Please join the RPM Browser for Windows mailing list.
This way you'll be notified of updates, dual boot news, etc.
Thanks,
-Larry
