Archivist is software that offers standard archiving and compression utilities specifically for .NET environments.
However, since it is still in its early alpha stage, there are some known limitations when it comes to Tar support. Some of the limitations include the lack of support for ustar headers and the inability to create tar specified permissions upon extract.
The developers have outlined a project roadmap that includes the addition of several features to improve the software's functionality. These features include support for creating archives, complete tar command support with all options, support for gzip and pkzip.
The current release is a minor one that has brought with it several notable improvements. Users can now create tar files and compress/decompress using gzip. Archivist continues to strive towards becoming the go-to software for file management in .NET environments.
