| Subject: | [D5] ArcHandlerEX new version 1.1 released. |
Hello,
Dave's been busy writing a new version of ArcHandlerEx, this is now available
on his site which can be found at http://www.cryogen.com/bj73 or
http://daveclarke.magnumopus.co.uk

1.1 20010317 A major milestone...it got faster :)
After much trial and error, (about 6 hours...not bad when I
started out not knowing anything about the language :) I've
created a small program that speeds up the lister updating.
This is analogous to what ArcDirList does for ArcDir,
although not quite as fast since Edmund used assembler.
Also fixed a small limitation when I did this, for some
reason
I restricted the path/file entry length to 107 characters
instead of just the file length....DUH! Due to using a
seperate program it's now 1024 characters.
Removed some code that's no longer required because of
above.
Please try it on a few different types of archives as I've only tested it on
LZX and LhA, hopefully there won't be any problems but let me know if there
is.
