<para>You can use the <application>Archive Manager</application> application to create, view, modify, or unpack an archive. An archive is a file that acts as a container for other files. An archive can contain many files, folders, and subfolders, usually in compressed form.
</para>
<para>
<application>Archive Manager</application> provides only a graphical interface, and relies on command-line utilities such as <command>tar</command>, <command>gzip</command>, and <command>bzip2</command> for archive operations.
</para>
<para>
If you have the appropriate command-line tools installed on your system, <application>Archive Manager</application> supports the archive formats listed in the following table.</para>

<section xml:id="engrampa-intro-nonarchive"><info><title>Compressed Non-Archive Files</title></info>
<para>A compressed non-archive file is a file that is created when you use <command>bzip2</command>, <command>gzip</command>, <command>lzip</command>, <command>lzop</command>, <command>compress</command> or <command>rzip</command> to compress a non-archive file. For example, <filename>file.txt.gz</filename> is created when you use <command>gzip</command> to compress <filename>file.txt</filename>.</para>

<!-- ======= Working with archives ============= -->
<section xml:id="engrampa-working"><info><title>Working With Archives</title></info>
<para>
When you use <application>Archive Manager</application> to work with an archive, all changes are saved to disk immediately. For example, if you delete a file from an archive, <application>Archive Manager</application> deletes the file as soon as you click <guibutton>OK</guibutton>. This behavior is different to that of most applications, which save the changes to disk only when you quit the application or select <guimenuitem>Save</guimenuitem> in the menu.</para>
<para>
If an archive is very large, or you have a slow system, some archive actions can take significant time. To abort the current action, press <keycap>Esc</keycap>. Alternatively, choose <menuchoice><guimenu>View</guimenu><guimenuitem>Stop</guimenuitem></menuchoice>, or click <guibutton>Stop</guibutton> in the toolbar.
</para>
<para>
In <application>Archive Manager</application>, you can perform the same action in several ways. For example, you can open an archive in the following ways:
