SHEZ REVISION HISTORY
v10.1 5/30/94 Corrected UUENCODE routine. The original filename that is
placed in the UUENCODED file contained two dots instead of a single
dot.
When starting SHEZ and only specifying a directory name SHEZ was not
using the user specified filespec as specified in the configuration
file. - FIXED -
Added code to automatically determine CPU type.
Added support for HAP version 3.14. When SHEZ is run on a 386 or
better the a3 and m3 commands will be utilized.
Added PORT keyword to Printer section in the SHEZ.INI file. This
allows the user to tell SHEZ which LPT port each user defined
printer should use.
When testing UC2 type compressed files SHEZ was not pausing to allow
the user to view the results. - FIXED -
When using F4 to delete a directory, SHEZ reporting that it could
not delete the directory when in fact it could.
Added smart move command ALT-F3.
Fixed an error that occurs when the user menu is empty.
Exchanged the location of the Tab and Exit mouse hot areas at the
bottom of the screen.
V10.0 5/13/94 SHEZ can now delete individual or tagged files that have
hidden, system, or read-only attributes assigned.
Fixed problem when CTL-ENTER is pressed to launch an alternate
viewer.
Due to numerous users having problems with the configuration item to
activate authenticity mode automatically this option has been
removed from the SHEZCFG program. If you want SHEZ to startup with
authenticity mode activated you must set an environment variable
named SHEZAV to a Y prior to starting SHEZ. I.E. SET SHEZAV=Y
Added $? to user menu variables. Added $CD current drive to user
menu variables. Added $CP current path to user menu variables.
Added $ED extract drive to user menu variables. Added $EP extract
path to user menu variables.
Moved ZIP to top of convert compressed file drop down menu.
Reorganized program code resulting in lower memory usage.
Fixed problem when view a file in a .ZIP compressed file and another
file with the same name exists in the .ZIP file but has been saved
in another directory.
Corrected Critical Error handling when TABBING to view a directory.
Entering directory names with extensions are now handled correctly
when entered either from within SHEZ or from the command line.
SHEZ will now check the release level of the SHEZ.CFG file and will
not continue if the SHEZ.CFG file has not been updated using the
matching release level of the SHEZCFG program.
Added preliminary support for the HAP compression program.
Modified the FILE_ID.DIZ viewing procedure as follows:
1) ALT-F1 will display the FILE_ID.DIZ file if it exists.
2) ENTER key will remove the dialog box and position the highlight
bar down one item.
3) CTRL-ENTER will remove the dialog box and will open the
compressed file view screen.
Added new command CTRL-F which will display a dialog box showing
free space on the default or user specified drive. This command is
available from both the DOS directory windows and the compressed
file contents window.
v9.9 4/19/94 Corrected the 4DOS description display when the DOS
directory window is zoomed full screen.
Corrected problem processing UC2 type compressed files when the

extract disk. If all files will not fit, a warning message will be
issued and the files that could not be extracted will remain tagged.
Added a new sort type of TAGGED when viewing the contents of a

CTL-F8 to UUDECODE highlighted/tagged files(s). If no files are
tagged the highlighted file will be UUEN/DECODED. If files are
tagged then all tagged files will be UUEN/DECODED.
Added new configuration item allowing the user to start SHEZ with
ZIP authenticity mode automatically activated. It may still be
dynamically deactivated by pressing the ALT-1 key.
v9.8 3/29/94 Correct ESC key processing. If ESC key is configured to
immediately exit SHEZ it will only do so from the DOS directory
window.
Changed drop down menu text to reduce memory requirements.
Fixed problem of adding the file $Z.$ when copying files from one
compressed file to another.
Fixed problem of not being able to copy files from a compressed file
to a UC2 compressed file.
Added internal support to UUENCODE and UUDECODE files. Files listed
in the DOS directory window or contained within a compressed file
can be ENCODED or DECODED.
Fixed problem were SHEZ was not positioning the highlight bar
correctly when move back up the directory tree when there are more
than 60 directories listed.

ALT-F1 key due to incompatiblities with some PC's.
Modified ZIP read function to correct possible lockup on corrupted
zip files.
Added new DOS directory function SMART COPY (ALT-F2). Smart copy
will write the tagged files to the specified destination attempting
to fill the destination disk to it's maximum capacity. When the
target disk is full, SHEZ will issue an information message and the
files that did not get copied will remain tagged.
Added sort type of Tag to DOS directory display. When sorting by TAG
the tagged files will appear at the top of the list, and the
secondary sort key will be file size.
When specifying User defined menu items in the SHEZ.INI file in

with the selected compressed file member name, if applicable.
Added What's new section to main DOS directory help screen.

contained in the compressed file. The file's contents will be
displayed in a pop-up scrollable window on the right side of the
screen.
Added VIEW FILE_ID.DIZ to the mouse menu.
In order to make SHEZ more compatible when running in a networked
environment, the DISK setting in the SHEZCFG program have been

(NOTE: Due to this change you may need to configure SHEZ to swap

programs.)

begin with a - from ZIP and ARJ files.
