/* readme.first */ <= I am learning ARexx :^)
Changes-> version 1.0 to 1.1. A LOT of bugs have been squashed, LAZi
has really been fumigated.
* There are two versions of the LAZi executable in two directories in the
LAZiv11.lzh archive. The directory, LAZi_13/, contains the LAZi executable
and LAZidefaults file for Workbench v1.3. The directory, LAZi_204/,
contain the files for Workbench v2.04.
The main difference is the Workbench color swap, PLUS the v2.04
version's Main window is an Application Window. Just drop the icon(s)
for the archive anywhere within the window and LAZi will extract all
the files in the archive to the DST directory (see docs for DST
explanation) with expanded paths.
* Archiving directories in Options window now functions correctly.
LAZi will archive subdirectories using LHarc, LZ, and Zoo.
* LAZi now returns to the window it was iconified from.
LAZi attempts to free unused memory when traversing windows; a short
delay may occur.
* LAZi now partially supports LZ by Jonathon Forbes.
LZ support was added due to requests. I say partially because LAZi
will NOT add/create .lha files (it will add/create .lzh files) although
it will unarchive and list them using LZ. If LZ is in your default path
(see docs) LAZi will use it. If not, it will use LHarc, if it exists.
If you do not have LZ then LAZi may produce an error when trying to
manipulate .LHA files. LAZi was tested with LZ version 1.92.
* LAZi's windows are 'sticky'.
Sticky, in this case, means that when you position a window, go to
another, then return, the window will redraw in the position you last
left it. The redraw is rather 'ugly' right now but I hope to smooth this
out. This function is mostly for those who use an overscan workbench.
LAZi will save, in the config file, the positions of the iconified
and main window (see the DEFAULT section in the doc file). You must
reposition the OPTIONS and VIEWER windows if restarting LAZi, for now.
I recommend using the ZOOM gadget for resizing due to speed and esthetic
considerations (or lack thereof) :^)
* "«" (SRC/DST to defaults) button added to Main window.
In the previous versions clicking the RMB (right mouse button) would move
you to the Main window and reset your current Source directory to default.
This was a pain if you were 3 directories down in the Options window and
just wanted to return to the Main window with the current directory. Now
clicking the RMB will still return you to the Main window with your
current SRC/DST directories. The "«" button will reset the Source and
Destination directories to default.
Due to the size of the total archive (two versions and whatnot) I removed
the 'deckrunner bound' (small) version of LAZi. I will upload the
unbound version onto Portal shortly.
