Changes V2.9
============
meaning: + new, ^ improved, * changed, - removed
+ New option RAR <path of UnRAR>: RAR archives can now be extracted.
Your need UnRAR 2.04.1 by A. Kleinert
not
the version ported
bei A. Vallinetto which is buggy.
+ New option DTMODE: sets the datatype mode at program start.
+ Decoding of HQX files(suffix .hqx). They mostly contain SIT archives.
+ Internal routine for listing the contents of StuffIt (SIT) archives.
(Not very useful but better than nothing). Unfortunately SIT archives
can't be extracted. UnSit for the Amiga (V1.5) is obsolete.
+ Conversion of two MacIntosh text formats, macbinary (type TEXT) and
another format which I found on an AOL-CD called by me 'MacDOC'.
^ Conversion of WORD documents has been much improved. NEXT now analizes
structures within a document and puts pieces of text in the correct
order even when the document is very fragmentated. Unfortunately
conversion is slower now because the document has to be re-read from
disk and more memory is needed,too.
The WORD version which produced the document is shown in the Info window.
^ Footnotes, endnotes and annotations within WORD documents are now
numbered if they are "auto-numbered".
^ PostScript XBM und XPM files are recognized and displayed by datatype
if datatype mode is on. They have been identified as TEXT in earlier
versions.
^ Handling of archives has been improved: If the current archive has been
extracted from an archive (subarchive) and you delete it by pressing
Shift-Del the contents of the motherarchive will be presented again.
^ Display of pictures has been improved, especially of small ones.
1x1 pictures don't cause problems any more. PostScript pictures displayed
by HWGPOST-Datatype and colors=3 are no longer distorted.
^ Search of strings within list windows can now be backwards e.g. search
of a file within an archive list. Press "P" to go up. If search fails
you'll get the message "No <string>" in the window title.
* The datatype mode (AsDT mode) has been renamed to 'DTMode'.
- BUG: The @LIB mode had been ignored if datatype mode was on at the
same time.
