Well, GNU arch is the official name as it is now a GNU project. Arch is more the name of the concept and larch/tla/arX are the implementations. larch is the original shellscript based project from Tom. tla is a complete rewrite in C by Tom helped by many contributors. ArX is a fork of larch with many modules in C++. tla is now pretty stable and has many more features than when you apparently tried it. It has GPG signed archives for security & integrity for example. The command-line interface is still full of very-long-commands but shell completion and aba (a wrapper around tla commands) help a lot. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- EEC/AMI -=- ollivier.robert@eurocontrol.int Usenet Canal Historique FreeBSD: The Power to Serve!
