Summary
Xtrax is the Windows version of a DOS-based program called Xtraktor/Repaktor.
You likely have not heard of Xtraktor/Repaktor, simply because it was an internal utility
that was never released to the public.
By creating Xtrax, many of the limitations of its DOS sister can be overcome.
Xtrax has 2 modes: Xtrax-mode & Repax-mode
Xtrax-mode does the unpacking while Repax-mode handles the repacking.

Purpose
The purpose of Xtrax is to assist you in the tiresome task of extracting multi-layered-archives.
For example, you have a program that is archived into 5 large ZIP-files.
Inside those 5 ZIP-files are 25 more ZIP-files. Inside those 25 ZIP-files are 25 RAR-files.
Xtrax will automatically unzip, then unzip again, then unrar your archive, leaving you with
the fully extracted, ready-to-run or ready-to-install program files.
For this task, Xtrax requires UNZIP.EXE, RAR.EXE, ACE32.EXE and sometimes WARJ.EXE.

To put it simply, Xtrax is a friendly point-and-click front-end to archiving utilities that you
probably already have.
The really nice thing about it is that you don't even need to know what kind of archive-set
you are dealing with - Xtrax figures it out for you, and doesn't stop working until it has the
final program files fully extracted.

> Xtrax 1.9.2 (October 11, 1998)
===========
Already revisions just 2 days after the release of 1.9.0. :P
Just a couple small additions per request of some users...
o New features:
Handles 2 new file-extensions:
.c01 (ACE) archive-sets where the first file is not .ACE (thanx Mongoloid)
.777 archive type is now supported in decompression and compression.
Added "Browse" buttons to locate WinZIP, "Other viewer", and the "Alert WAVs".
o Bugfixes:
Although not really a BUG, Xtrax was not ready to accept XtraView as a default viewer
(the option-button for XtraView in Preferences was grayed-out)
If XtraView is installed on your system, you will be able to select it as the default
viewer via the Xtrax Preferences page.
Mailto: ME! was pointing to an old email address on ABOUT and SPLASH screens - FIXED.
o XtraView Note:
XtraView is finished (thanx phanto^^) and ready to rock.
Why did we code ANOTHER text viewer? Because no other text viewers displayed NFO/DIZ
files the way we wanted them to by default. XtraView does it the way it should be done.
It's also distributed as a separate proggy instead of being built-in to Xtrax so that we
can make changes to it at will and you can download updated versions of it without having
to download an entire new version of Xtrax.
PERIOD.
