Beezer is a GUI-based archiver program for Haiku, Zeta and BeOS. It's functionally similar to WinZip or Ark on KDE. Beezer is currently actively developed only for Haiku. The final version available for Zeta and BeOS is Beezer 0.09. Beezer is now open source and hosted at https://bitbucket.org/cpr/beezer. Beezer was originally written by Ramshankar (Teknomancer) and after he open sourced it, Chris Roberts ported it to Haiku. Beezer is now being developed by the two of them in their spare time. Beezer supports several archive formats through use of worker add-ons such as zip, tar, gzip, bzip2, lha (lzh). It's an OS native program written from scratch and sports an easy to use GUI. Beezer uses command-line archivers (workers) most of which come pre-installed with the OS. Additional formats can simply be plugged in to the application. Some additional formats supported by Beezer that require you to download the binaries (if you want support for them) are listed below. Please be aware that these are completely optional and only required if you want Beezer to support these file formats.
