Using Archive Finder
Archive Finder lets you search for available archive files on your system.
Archive files typically contain files and folders that have been compressed to
save space. Information you download from the Internet often comes in the form
of archive files. You might also archive files on your own to save versions of
material you can return to later.
The following archive formats are supported: |
StuffIt X (.sitx)
StuffIt (.sit)
ZIP (.zip)
bzip2 (.bz2)
