MultiArc 1.4.1.7+ MVV Build
---------------------------

1. What is MultiArc?

MultiArc is an archiver plug-in for Total Commander. It allows viewing, extracting and modifying contents of archives that are unsupported by Total Commander (e.g. JAR, IMP). MultiArc translates the commands from Total Commander into corresponding external archiver calls. You can easily add support for your favorite archiver by editing MultiArc.ini.

Please refer to the online help for details about installing and configuring MultiArc.


2. MVV Build

Official MultiArc developing has been discontinued since 2007. However there was a need for 64-bit version when 64-bit Total Commander was released.
This build continues official MultiArc 1.4.1.7 version taken from its repository.
It comes with new MultiArc.chm help file. Some topics were updated according to introduced changes. Original unchanged help file MultiArc.hlp is shipped with this package (note that this format is deprecated since Windows Vista).
