+archivemount (mounts an archive for access as a file system)
+
+archivemount is a FUSE based file system. Its purpose is to mount an
+archive on a mount point where it can be read from or written to as
+with any other file system. This makes accessing the contents of the
+archive, which may be compressed, transparent to other programs, without
+decompressing them.
+
+Supported archive formats: tar, pax, cpio, iso9660 (CD-ROM) images, zip, shar.
