WBx is short for Workbench Xtractor. It's a small utility intended to be
used as a default tool in an Archive's project icon. WBx allows easy
extraction of complete archives from the workbench, no need to go into a
shell anymore. Lets you chose the target path in a small window.
WBx is configurable, so you can use it with almost any archive type. It
uses the Amiga's System() call to execute the appropriate archive
program. Other features include:
- Possibility to specify calling sequences in a brain file
- Tool types in the icon override entries in the brain file
- Freely configurable command line. You can use two special sequences
for the archive name and target path. For example, the entry for a LHA
type archive in the brainfile looks like this:
LHA lha x %a %p
The first is the file type (mostly a capitalization of the extensions).
Next comes the command line used to extract the archive, with '%a' being
a 'placeholder' for the archives actual name, and '%p' for the target
path.
- Also works with DMS/other disk compressors type archives.
WBx is Do-what-you-want-with-it-but-dont-sell-it-for-profit-ware. See
the docs for further details.
