Thomas,
There are two kinds of Smalltalk Archives:
.star files: No soureces
.store files: With Sources
Technically Smalltalk Archives are .tar files. Thus you can look at them
using tar. With the file browser you'll see the contents of Smalltalk
archives also. When a Smalltalk archive is written, the same code is used
that writes parcel files. The basic difference is that they are put in a tar
file.
You'll find some documentation on page 78 of the 7.6 Release Notes and in
the ObjectStudio 8 documentation.
