Created by Daniel Brumbaugh-Keeney and last modified

The Ruby archive library reads, writes, extracts metadata, and has many convenience methods for dealing with a variety of Ar, Tar, Cpio, Shar, and LBR archives. It's relatively new, so you may still want to check to make sure it's working as you would expect. I'm still adding support for more exotic varieties of these archives, so let me know if you have archives it can't handle, or know of another type of archive. (I'll add others, but these 5 are the only kinds I know of. Note that I have no plans to include _compressed_ archive formats.)
