<span class="application">Xarchiver</span> is a small and lightweight archive manager.
11

I developed it to manage archives without depending from a special Desktop Environment
12
10
like KDE or GNOME, so <span class="application">Xarchiver</span> requires only the GTK+2 toolkit
11
to work. The package <i>xdg-utils</i> is optional.
15
<span class="application">Xarchiver</span> has these features:
