File Roller
File Roller is an
archive manager for the GNOME
desktop environment. It performs file compression
and archiving functions.
This utility can create and modify archives, view the contents
of an
archive, view a file contained in the archive, as well as extract files
from the archive.
File Roller provides a friendly front-end
(a graphical interface) to archiving programs like tar and zip,
avoiding the user having to remember the different flags needed to
perform certain functions.
It is also integrated into the desktop environment and
graphical file manager to make working with archived files easier.
