-
- * Support for MOVE;
-
- Add and move:
-
- SQZ AM archive filespec
- SQZ MA archive filespec
- SQZ A /Z4 archive filespec
-
-
- Update and move:
-
- SQZ UM archive filespec
- SQZ MU archive filespec
- SQZ M archive filespec
- SQZ U /Z4 archive filespec
-
-
- * Another type of listing.
-
- SQZ LB archive filespec - Brief listing
-
- or
-
- SQZ L /z5 archive filespec
-
-
- Modification Date Uncompressed size Path and filename
- 1992-02-15 12.13 .......563 SQZ1083\TEST.TXT
- 1992-02-15 5.23 .....10233 SQZ1083\SVEN.TXT
- 2 files. =10796
-
-
- * Some speed improvments over 1.08.2, particular in smaller files, eg.
- less than 30000 bytes.
-
-
- * Fixed an error in SFX, which extracted to the root, not the current
- directory.
-
-
- * Some text were changed.
-
-
- * Use of Q (capital q) to gain higher speed.
- The speed, during my testing anyway, equals ARJ 2.30 for q and
- ARJ 2.39a for Q. Default are still q5 (lower case q).
- The speed improvents are higher in the lower speeds, i.e. the
- differance between q9 and Q9 are less than between Q0 and q0.
-
- "SQZ A /q5 ARC *.*" will compress more than "SQZ A /Q5 ARC *.*", but
- will take more time (10% to 20% more) to give some 2% better
- compression.
-
-
- * Added support for volume label, /$
- Doesn't allow extraction of volume label.
-
-
- * Prohibits extraction to CLOCK$/CON/AUX/COM0..9.
-
-
- * *.* will be used if there's no file specification when issuing Add or
- Update.
-
- * Assignment of work-directory.
-
- /W, pick work-directory from environment-variable TMP. if TMP doesn't
- exist SQZ will look for TEMP instead. If none of them exist than the
- current directory will be used.
-
- /w<work-directory>, work-directory should follow directly after /w.
-
- If there's no ending '\', then will it be added.
-
- * Storeage for directory if /S used. This can be used for storing
- empty directories. Date are set to date of extraction, not creation
- of directory, but attributes are kept.
-
- To include directories in listings use /s or /S.
-
-
- * # - current date.
-
- #Y#M#D#H creates a archive name from the current date.
-
-
- #Y gives current year with two digits.
-
- #M gives current month with two digits.
-
- #D gives current day of month with two digits.
-
- #H gives current hour in 24-hour format (00 to 23).
-
-
- #M_#D_#Y creates the name, if current date are 30th october 1992,
- 10_30_92.
-
-
- The use of this function might be to split all post into one archive
- for each day.
-
-
- SQZ M \PKT\OUT\PKT_#M#D - will move all files into the archive of
- the current date and you don't have to
- worry where all files went.
-
-
- * Extended the 'E' command to include embedded path information when
- extracting, if used in conjuction with /S, i.e. E + /S --> /X
-
- SQZ - Squeeze it, version 1.08.2, release date 1992/09/13
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- What's new from 1.08.1, 1992/08/22?
-
- /Z3 Switch which gives a better ratio when packing text-files.
- Will perform rather poorly on C-files, but ok on TXT/DOC.
-
-
- The order of options and arcspec is now more free than it used
- to be, i.e. all below are correct and will work;
-
-
- sqz a tcinc /sp1z01 tcinc\*.*
-
- sqz a /sp1 tcinc /z01 tcinc\*.*
-
- sqz a /sp1z01 tcinc tcinc\*.*
-
-
- The first parameter, excluding command, without a leading '/' or '-'
- are considered to be an archive specification.
-
-
- Support for both '/' and '-' as switchars. The one first occuring
- will be used, i.e.:
-
-
- sqz a tcinc /sp1z01 tcinc\*.* - Ok, use /
- add tcinc\*.*
-
- sqz a tcinc -sp1z01 tcinc/*.* - Ok, use -
- add tcinc/*.*
-
- sqz a tcinc /sp1 -z01 tcinc\*.* - Ok, uses /
- add -z01. and tcinc\*.*
-
- Yes, use of '-' as switchar forces use of '/' as directory char.
-
-
-
- Comments are now implemented.
-
- SQZ C archive filespec
-
- or
-
- SQZ C archive CON to read from stdin.
