LZ 0.91
1st September, 1990
Written by Jonathan Forbes
Copyright © 1990, Xenomiga Technology
Changes to 0.82
Much smaller stack requirements (i.e. no more crashes).
Filenotes now preserved.
Wildcards work as documented.
Add function works properly.
Addition of -N option.
Function of -Z option now reversed.
Destination directory usage works as documented.
Various internal changes.
Improved documentation.
Changes to 0.90
Fixed bug which stopped LZ from storing files which didn't compress.
Those Crashes
Version 0.90 should fix the problem which caused versions 0.81 and 0.82 to
crash on some systems; the stack.
LZ 0.90 has much smaller stack requirements than its predecessors (Xoper
estimates current requirements to be around 1k). However, if you have any
problems, you should raise your stack; 10,000 bytes should be more than enough.
There have been no other reported problems with LZ; the only problem has
been the stack crashing bug. Since my stack is always set at 20,000, I never
noticed.
I can be contacted at FidoNet node 1:250/642, or at the address supplied
in the program's help screen.
The Future
The following programs didn't make it into the 0.91 release, and will be
included in the next release:
LX - The scaled down extractor
LX.cmp - Compressed executable version of LX
LX.doc - LX documentation
LZConv - Utility to convert a directory full of .arc and .zoo files to .lzh
