XAD

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The XAD system is an open source client based archiving and unarchiving system. This means there is a master library called xadmaster.library which provides an interface between the client and the user application and there are clients handling the special archive formats. Three different types to handle file and disk archives and also disk image files (filesystem) are possible. They can be made by everyone. The master library itself includes some of these clients internally to make the work somewhat easier for the package maintainer and the user installing it.

XAD is also the trade name of a series of proprietary resins (manufactured by Rohm and Haas Corp.), which are useful in the sample collection of organic materials, particularly in gas streams from industrial processes. (e.g., Amberlite (tm) XAD-2.)
