Sharing the scripts I wrote and used to make this collection. The ones that have 'beos' in the name are quick hacks, and not quite as polished as the other scripts in this directory. But I'm sharing them all since they might be quite useful to other data hoarders. There are some hard-coded variables in the BeOS scripts, specifically '$home_dir' and '$owner'. Change those to your current home directory and user if you're going to run the scripts. The correct order to use the scripts is: 1) fix_beos_corrupt.sh (to sort out corrupt archives, and try to repair corrupt ZIPs) 2) fix_beos.sh (to recursively repack all archives in 7zip) 3) check_beos.sh (to remove duplicate 7zip archives) 4) check_beos_final.sh (to remove more duplicate files) Parts of the BeOS scripts are based, and depend, on the other scripts, which need to be in your '$PATH' (preferably '${HOME}/bin'). That's also where you should place your Linux RAR binary (https://www.rarlab.com/download.htm). The other archivers are available in the software repositories of your Linux distro. Read the top comments in the scripts for a short synopsis on what they do.
