Pack to archive
When an external program is used for packing, Command specifies the file name of the external archiver to use. Using a variable from External Archivers Locations is recommended when the packer is known in Sally. Arguments are the parameters passed to the external program.
Pack to archive and then delete from disk
When an external program is used for packing and supports deleting files, Command specifies the file name of the external archiver to use. Using a variable from External Archivers Locations is recommended. Arguments are the parameters passed to the external program.
Support long names
Check this check box when the external archiver supports long file names. Otherwise, clear this check box and Sally uses MS-DOS 8.3 file names.
Need List of Files in ANSI Charset
Check this check box if the external program used for packing and deleting files requires a list of files in ANSI charset (some Win32 archivers). Clear this check box if it requires a list of files in OEM charset.
