+File-roller is an archive manager for the GNOME environment. It allows
+you to:
+
+ * Create and modify archives
+ * View the content of an archive
+ * View a file contained in an archive
+ * Extract files from the archive
+
+File-roller supports the following formats:
+
+ * Tar (.tar) archives, including those compressed with
+ gzip (.tar.gz, .tgz), bzip (.tar.bz, .tbz), bzip2 (.tar.bz2, .tbz2),
+ compress (.tar.Z, .taz), lzop (.tar.lzo, .tzo) and lzma (.tar.lzma)
+ * Zip archives (.zip)
+ * Jar archives (.jar, .ear, .war)
+ * 7z archives (.7z)
+ * iso9660 CD images (.iso)
+ * Lha archives (.lzh)
+ * Single files compressed with gzip (.gz), bzip (.bz), bzip2 (.bz2),
+ compress (.Z), lzop (.lzo) and lzma (.lzma)
+
+File-roller doesn't perform archive operations by itself, but relies on
+standard tools for this.
+
+This requires GConf.
