    <para>You can use the &app; 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> 
      &app; 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, &app; supports the archive formats listed in the following table.</para>

      <title>Working With Archives</title>

For example, if you delete a file from an archive, &app; 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.
