About Beezer:
Beezer is a WinZip-like archiver program for the BeOS.

Beezer is a GUI-based archiver program and it's the first freeware archiver of its kind for BeOS. It currently supports the following formats:
  • zip,
  • tar,
  • gzip, tar.gzip,
  • bzip2, tar.bzip2,
  • lha (lzh),
  • rar
  • 7zip
  • arj*

* - Currently the arj support is experimental because of issues with the arj command-line binary itself and not Beezer.

More formats, as and when they become available, can simply be 'plugged' into the application.

Required Programs
Beezer uses external programs to support different file formats, the following don't come pre-installed with BeOS R5, hence you need to download & install them. For Zeta 1.0 onwards you need not install all of the below programs as most would of them would already be installed...

 

Note: It's always recommended you delete your older version before installing a newer one. This always ensures a clean install as using older settings files may lead to crashes. If you have lots of settings that you would like to retain try the new version without deleting the older settings, but if you encounter a crash the first thing you should do is get rid of the older settings files (all but "bzr_rules" file).

BeOS R5
version 0.09 - Freeware 
   
Details about this version:
  • Made file extension stripping in Extract context menu case insensitive
  • Included an option for extracting without full path during drag 'n drop extraction
  • Fixed a minor bug when reporting info about unavailable operation in the log
  • Made hidden unavailable columns for ARJ archives, namely CRC & Method
  • Included default archive window settings to Preferences' Interface panel
  • Fixed a bug in ARJ' s extract process by removing the recurse option while extracting
  • Fixed a bug while adding files to Rar archives by ignoring warning issued by Rar when it couldn't get hold of a file's permission
  • New QuickCreate Tracker Add-on available for Beezer, this is a hack of sorts in that Beezer is invoked to do the creation process in one step...
  • Some interfacial changes to Preferences window :)
Note: The Zeta version has not yet been updated, as I'm too busy and I don't have time for it. Maybe in the future...
