- Changes in V3.1
- ===============
- meaning: + new, ^ improved, * changed, - removed
-
- V3.1
- ====
- + Option XAD/S: Causes xadmaster.library and clients to be used
- for extraction of archived files. External unpackers can be used
- alternately.
- + Option PENS/K: Enables you to set your own colors in NEXT's windows.
- + Own routine for playing sounds by datatypes.
- ^ Default colors are now completely set according to palette settings.
- Colors in Guides are the same as shown by MultiView. But due to
- restrictions of the console.device only the first 8 colors (pen numbers
- 0-7) of the workbench palette can be shown.
- ^ Functions Print and Copy present a save requester if you enter a
- directory as destination.
- ^ Information about the archive type is shown with "I" when the archive
- list window is open.
- ^ The list format of UnZip 5.40 which differs from earlier versions
- (two chars more for file size) is supported.
- ^ Uncompressed size of archived files bigger than 7 digits is now
- converted to K.
- * MacDOC renamed to MacWORD5 because it turned out to be MacWORD5
- - BUG: Busy loop when listing archives with more than 4095 files.
