ArchView 0.7.1

ArchView is an extension of Firefox, which can open archive file online without downloading the whole archive. ArchView supports RAR and ZIP formats over HTTP/ FTP protocols, and it can also open local files via file: protocol. This software will present data via XUL or HTML interface.
ArchView doesnt intend to replace other archivers (eg. 7-Zip, WinZip or WinRAR). It lacks some features, and cant add or delete files in an archive. ArchView doesnt support compression, and has no plan to realize it.
