- --- Version 0.97 : 10 Feb 1990
- - Added keyboard commands (Arrow keys scroll FileReq/Archive display

- to clear a normal 'OK'-message.
-

- - Fixed Add files bug (sometimes small files weren't added thanks to
- Lattice's IO-Routines...)
- - And some other stuff I just cannot remember.
- - Add/Extract now fully supports Dates & Protection bits.
-
- --- Version 0.99 : 12 Feb 1990
- - Changed Archive display; removed CRC & type and added dates.
- - Changed File Requester display; added protection bits & dates.
-
- --- Version 0.99a : 13 Feb 1990
- - File Requester: Added Volume display icons.
-
- --- Version 0.99b : 22 Feb 1990
- - Changed to compiler version 5.04a
- - Fixed date bug.

-
- --- Version 0.99c : 29 Mar 1990
-
- [ Slow progress here, lots of other things to do... ]
-
- 90/03/04:
- - Version 0.99b had a bug in requester logic (due to compiler bug)
- fixed by changing compiler version to 5.05
- 90/03/10:
- - Fixed handling of dates before 1980.
- - Added prompt for adding '.lzh' extension if not specified when opening
- a new archive
- - Added SetWorkDir function (no need to assign a t: directory anymore)
- 90/03/20:
- - Changed SetWorkDir implementation.
- - Added Set Priority function.
- - Started on freshen command.
- - Started with the AREXX interface stuff.
- 90/03/21:
- - Restructured delete function.
- - Fixed minor bug in Append() [Not really a bug].
- - Changed some things in menu handler.
- - Finished freshen command.
- 90/03/23:
- - Started on File Info command
- - Started implementing SetPSW + Decoding + Encoding
- - Moved some gadgets around (Mark All/UnMark all/Print/Set PSW)
- - Corrected bug in Freshen command
- 90/03/24:
- - Made compression/decompression slightly faster
- - Added save/load settings functions
- - Implemented archive flag masking as an option in settings menu
- - Implemented option to hide files with H-flag set [in file requester]
- - Added 'show pathnames' option [in window.c only]
- - Added 'sort archive view' option [in window.c only]
- - Implemented 'NewCLI'-command
- - Implemented 'Set command shell name'-command
- - The 'Save settings'-command now saves command shell name as well
- - File Info command almost finished, the only thing not implemented is
- the SAVE command.
- 90/03/28:
- - Improved archive scanning, it no longer aborts if a garbled entry is
- found, instead it tries to find the next one. [Also good for MSDOS
- (and soon also AmigaDOS) self-extracting archives where the actual
- archive entries are preceded by machine-specific decompression code.]
- 90/03/29:
- - Started writing the docs
- - Implemented 'show pathnames' option + truncation of filenames longer
- than 31 characters.
-
- --- Version 1.00 :
-
- [ Even slower here, writing protection+intro seq. for N.Y.Chase ]
-
- 90/04/01:
- - ARexx port code completed, but no functions finished yet.
- 90/04/08:
- - Rewrote create directory + overwrite files request-code. Requester now
- contains an "all"-gadget .
- - Major changes done to decompression routine, now much faster (around
- 20% faster than before, now twice as fast as LhArc 1.10, and also
- much faster than LhUnArc).
- 90/04/09:
- - Improved decompression routine even further, now about 25% faster than
- version 0.99c!!! [I don't think it's possible to get it any faster now].
- - Rewrote part of compression routines, now slightly faster [about one
- second/100k].
- - The silly extension-request removed, we now brutally append the 'lzh'-
- extension if it's not already there.
- - Changed About... text
- - Fixed bug in test-command (before it was impossible to extract files
- after an archive test had been done)
- - Changed extract/test display to indicate original file size.
- - Made above changes to the add command, plus indication of compression
- method (if any)
- - Save/Load settings command saves/loads workdir to/from prefs file
- 90/04/10:
- - Freshen command now also shows original filesize + storage method.
- - Changed archive status display to indicate number of files in archive
- - Implemented recursive file collection [ If the top right gadget in
- file requester says "CD&SubDirs", and the ALL gadget is selected, all
- files in the current directory and all files in it's subdirectories
- will be selected, if the NONE gadget is selected, ALL files are
- deselected IF "CD&SubDirs" is selected, if not only the current
- directory's files will be deselected ].
- - File requester tries to distinguish and exclude non-filing system
- devices from volume-selection display.
-
- #### TO DO:
-
- * !!! BETTER ERROR HANDLING !!!
