What is this?
If you are an old Amiga user who have installed WinUAE or other Amiga emulator then this plugin is for you. When I buy my *first* Amiga 500 many-many years ago, I stated to collect programs, utilities (games?) for developing. My own developed code are archived on floppy disk. After this lovely years moved on PC but sometimes I need some previously developed routines from my old archives. To speedup searching and the better overview those archives are moved to CDs. But there was no simple and easy way to access them directly in ADF (or DMS, etc.) from my favorite file manager Total (Windows) Commander. I found on the net a shell extension, but I don't like Windows explorer(tm) :-0. After a while to wait someone to release this kind of plugin, I stated this project. After some of previous releaseses the new release V2.00 and above have a capability to create/modify ADF file not only extract. At this point I must say thanks for many Amiga funs over the world, for suggestions and bugreporting to make this plugin much , much better, and for Christian Ghisler for Total commander the *only* file manager. With this plugin you can handle DMS, ADZ, HDF, DMP file types too. If you are looking for the plugin like this on Linux OS ( or other posix like OSes ) then look at my ADFFS
System:
Developed and tested on Windows XP with Visual C 6 & Total Commander 5.51-6.53
Known bugs:
Bug? in "delete from adf file": If user quick deletes files from adf archive (one-by-one) the plugin (or Total Commander?) don't refresh file list, which cause some failure on reading file from archive (but only last one!), anyway the name of the file should be removed. You can ignore this or you can fix problem by quiting from total commander and running again, after this operation the deleted file is really gone! You can eliminate this "bug" by dirty hack - selecting checkbox in options dialog. The hack will go into sleep for some short time period after deleting to allow system to wake up and refresh (reread?) file list ;-)

Can the plugin be rewritten to work with TC 8.0 specifically the 64 bit version?
