What is Arpix?

Arpix is a project to create a high-quality, powerful, and free archiving library and a frontend for it.
The project's main target operating system is Unix and/or Unix-compatible operating systems, including, but not limited to, Linux and FreeBSD.

The Arpix project includes:

GnomeZip: a powerful and feature-rich archiving program, compareable to WinZip.
It's based on the GTK+ toolkit and the Gnome libraries.
Unlike other GUI archiving programs like GuiTAR, GxTar and LnxZip, GnomeZip is intended to be much more powerful and, the most important of all, not to die ;-)

By the way, GnomeZip was previously called The Garp, hence the name for LibGarp.
But I discovered the name "Garp" was already taken, so I renamed it to GnomeZip.
LibGarp: the backend for GnomeZip.
This is a X-independend library for archiving operations.

Why the name Arpix?

I don't know. Linux doesn't mean anything either :-)

Join the project

This project is in heavy development.
There's still lots of work to do.
Any developers and non-developers are encouraged to join.
