+long_desc="
+ Xarchiver is a lightweight desktop independent archive manager built with
+ the GTK+2 toolkit. It was my intention to develop a simple GUI which could
+ be used with any desktop environment and would operate using the command
+ line rather than API calls. Xarchiver has been designed from the ground up
+ to be fast and easy-to-use. Its user interface is clean and intuitive, and
+ does not include any confusing or useless options."
