Description: If you upload and download binary files to and from newsgroups you can use this to generate a set of PAR files. If you miss one or more of the binary files when downloading, the PAR files can be used to restore the missing files. Furthermore, if the file set contains a RAR archive, the program automatically unpacks it. Other file types, like stuffit files, are automatically forwared to the appropriate program. The program cooperates with Loek Jehee's Split&Concat to automatically join a segmented file.What's new in this version:This version requires Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" or better. It does not run on previous versions of the operating system. Older versions are still available for 10.5 ("Leopard"), 10.4 ("Tiger"), and 10.3.9 ("Panther").Fixed an issue that could cause the program to take a very long time opening a par2 file.Added a new post-process macro for command line rules.Added an icon for rar documents (becomes visible if you link the "rar" extension to MacPAR deLuxe).Upgraded all document ic...

Description: Supports more formats than I can remember. Zip, Tar, Gzip, Bzip2, 7-Zip, Rar, LhA, StuffIt, several old Amiga file and disk archives, CAB, LZX, stuff I don't even know what it is.Copies the Finder file-copying/moving/deleting interface for its interface.Uses the character set autodetection code from Mozilla to auto-detect the encoding of the filenames in the archives.Supports split archives for certain formats, like RAR.Built around libxad (http://sourceforge.net/projects/libxad/). This is an old Amiga library for handling unpacking of archives. It supports a whole lot of formats, and I added a couple more, and bugfixed old code. I also wrote a higher-level Objective-C wrapper around it, which might be useful for other projects too (including Xee).What's new in this version:Updated French localization by Ronald Leroux.Can now join simple split files (those named .001, .002 and so on).Supports MSI files. The same format is actually used for many Microsoft file types, so you can now also extract the interna...

Description: Utility to split or recombine large files (for use with internet newsgroups or if your file is too large to put on one CD).In Internet newsgroups large files often are split into smaller parts since messages can not be of more than a certain size to be able to post them in newsgroups. For that reason you can find often binary files that are split in parts like filename.mp3.001, filename.mp3.002, filename.mp3.003 etcetera. It is possible to put these parts together using commands in the Terminal yet not everybody is handy with that. That is why I decided to create a small utility with the OS X interface that makes it easy for people to split large files to be uploaded, or to put together split files downloaded from the Internet. You can also use it to divide very large files over several CD's.The program functions also as post-processor for MacPAR DeLuxe. Starting with vs. 2.0 you can also use the program to create Par2 or Par archive files (sponsors only).What's new in this version:Code rewritten for Mac ...
