How well does the tool deal with *really big* archives? Say, a 100mb archive with over 5000 files (each usually around 30k). All laid out in a single directory; not a hiearchy. As you can imagine, dumping all those files into the local filesystem introduces some 'interesting' complications regarding performance. So I'd rather avoid extracting them directly. I'm fine with decompressing the .tar.gz (or .bz) part of it first as that balloons the 100mb archive to about 1gb uncompressed. It's the resulting avalance of individual files, potentially with names not legal for NTFS that presents the biggest problem.
I want to open the archives, generate a hash of each file and record other filesystem metadata like size, creation and modification dates and the like. Can I use this class to get at that data or do I have to dump it to disk first? I'm in the process of trying the sharplib class but would welcome advice on any 'gotchas' ahead of time.... -Bill Kearney ----- Original Message ----- > Hrm... Looks like no attachments are allowed.
