Ann: AZip 2.15

[gautier_niouzes]

Hello, 

The version 2.15 of AZip is out! 

    URL: http://azip.sf.net/ 

AZip is a Zip archive manager. 

Some features: 

    - Multi-document
    - Flat view / Tree view toggle
    - Simple to use (at least I hope so ;-) ) 
    - Useful tools: 
        - Text & name search function through an archive, without
            having to extract files 
        - Archive updater 
        - Integrity check 
        - Archive recompression, using an algorithm-picking approach for
            improving a Zip archive's compression. 
    - Encryption 
    - Zip compression formats supported: Reduce, Shrink, Implode,
        Deflate, Deflate64, BZip2, LZMA 
    - Free, open-source 
    - Portable (no installation needed, no DLL, no configuration file) 

The latest changes in version 2.15 are improvements in the search tool. 

"Under the hood" features: 

    - AZip is from A to Z in Ada :-) 
    - Uses the highly portable Zip-Ada library 
    - Portability to various platforms: currently there is a complete
      UI implementation in the ./gwindows directory.
      BUT: the UI and user persistence are mostly abstracted
      (see ./sys_common directory). 
      There is a GtkAda stub in the ./gtkada directory, if someone
      is interested to give a try and mimick the GWindows hull...
      AZip could be a great Zip archive manager for Linux
      (e.g. it supports compression formats beyond Deflate).

Enjoy!
