 NAME
      guiTAR - generic archive tool for X

 SYNOPSIS
      guitar [filename]

 DESCRIPTION
      guiTAR is a generic archive tool written in GTK+, currently supporting
      tar, tar.Z, tar.gz, tar.bz2, bzip2-compressed-slp, zip, lzh(lha), arj,
      and rar files.

      guiTAR can create, view, extract archives or add files to an existing
      archive.

      guiTAR compiles with GTK+ 1.0.1 to GTK+ 1.2.x with no problems. Also
      GNOME support is available.

      guiTAR uses tar, gzip, bzip2, zip/unzip, unarj, lha, rar/unrar, and
      GNU textutils.  Only "sort" is needed from GNU textutils, guiTAR uses
      "sort" to reverse-sort the filelist when extracting files from a tar
      archive.

 filename
      guiTAR opens filename after initialization. This is useful for using
      guiTAR with various file managers and web browsers.
