Editing .UCS archive then restore it back

I suppose there are also benefits working on the ucs archive, e.g. it is easy to find the specifc file you want to edit.

The ucs archive is just a compressed tar file. You can do the following:

To see the archive file's structure (where the files will go after untar'ing):

 tar -ztf /path/to/ucs_file.ucs

To do it for real:

 tar -zxf /path/to/ucs_file.ucs

To put it all back together after editing:

 tar cvf - * | gzip -c > /path/to/new_ucs_file.ucs
