Xarchiver

Xarchiver is placed under GNU GPL frontend for a variety of data compression and archive programs. The user interface was implemented in GTK ; the program itself is written in C.

The programmers have put in Xarchiver special emphasis on ease of use, speed and a resource-saving implementation. Because of these properties, the program is well-suited for use on low-performance computers. Xarchiver therefore has long been part of the Xfce project, but with advent of other smaller work environments such as LXDE Xfce - dependency was abandoned. In corresponding Linux distributions that ship with Xfce or LXDE, Xarchiver is often the default archive management program.

On 16 December 2008 Xarchiver was awarded 5 of 5 points, to be excellent with the Soft82 Award.
