Some changes in 0.0.7:

*several bugfixes, including removing all fixed length buffers.

Check the ChangeLog for a complete list of changes.

gxTar is a Gnome/Gtk front-end to common archive utilities
under unix.  The goal is to make it the winzip of the unix world. 
Currently zip, gzip, tar, bzip2, and arj are supported. Current 
functionality includes the ability to open and create archives, and to
add, delete, extract, and view files.  Drag & drop support is coming soon
(really).

The current release has been tested on Linux with the latest CVS release
of Gnome (though the latest RPMs should work). It is no longer possible to
compile a GTK+ version.. I finally got tired of re-implementing all of the
functions that gnome provided. Perhaps I will bring the gtk version
uptodate again someday, but not now.

Suggestions, bug reports, etc are always wanted at gandalf@pobox.com
