The Unarchiver

The Unarchiver is a much more capable replacement for "BOMArchiveHelper.app", the built-in archive unpacker program in Mac OS X. The Unarchiver is designed to handle many more formats than BOMArchiveHelper, and to better fit in with the design of the Finder. It can also handle filenames in foreign character sets, created with non-English versions of other operating systems. I personally find it useful for opening Japanese archives, but it should handle many other languages just as well.

It is very simple to use and install - simply copy it into your Applications folder or whereever you prefer, and then set archive filetypes to open using it. This can either be done the usual way, or by double-clicking the icon to show The Unarchiver's preferences.

Supported file formats include Zip, Tar-GZip, Tar-BZip2, Rar, 7-zip, LhA, StuffIt and many other more or less obscure formats

Amiga Forever

All editions of Amiga Forever include everything you need to run different emulation engines, operating system versions, games and demoscene productions in simple one-click steps.

The Value Edition is a relatively compact download for Windows, and includes the versions of the Amiga operating system required to run the majority (more than 95%) of games and applications.

The Plus Edition includes a complete set of ROM and operating system versions (all from 1.0 to 3.X), a wider selection of preinstalled games and demoscene productions, a gallery of items of historical interest, and additional cross-platform content.

Both the Value Edition and the Plus Edition open the doors to thousands of additional Amiga games and demos which are available for free download from software publishers and Amiga history sites alike. Furthermore, the Premium Edition bundles the Plus Edition content with two video DVDs.

LZX uses a compact way of encoding large match offsets. The Amiga implementation includes file merging, where data are grouped into large blocks, instead of being individually compressed.
