File_Extractor 1.0.0
--------------------
File_Extractor is a modular archive scanning and extraction library that
supports several popular compressed file formats. It gives a common
interface to the supported formats, allowing one version of user code.
Features:
* Simple C interface.
* Supports ZIP, GZIP, 7-Zip (7Z), and RAR[1] archive formats.
* Non-archive files act like archive of that one file, simplifying code.
* Modular design allows removal of support for unneeded archive formats.
* Optionally supports wide-character paths on Windows.
* Archive file type identification can be customized
[1] RAR support must be enabled before use, due to its special
licensing.

Getting Started
---------------
Build the demo by typing "make" at the command-line. If that doesn't
work, manually build a program from demo.c and all *.c and *.cpp files
in fex/, 7z_C/, and zlib/. Run demo with test.zip in the same directory.
To enable RAR archive support, edit fex/blargg_config.h.
See fex.h for reference and fex.txt for documentation.
