LHA.EXE ver 2.13
recent revisions
July 20, 1991
------------------------------------------------------------------------
HISTORY OF REVISIONS, after optimized with Assembler.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
ver 2.13
Extracting with /m2 option should creates new extensions with
the same FILENAMEs. LHA changed the FILENAME in some cases.
20 Jul 91
ver 2.13c Test version
Key-board buffer is flushed when LHA asks [Y/N].
Added /s option to suppress "Skipped FILENAME.EXT newer or.."
message.
VZ editor failed to memorize console outputs of LHA with
/l0 option. An additonal routine specific to VZ editor.
13 Jul 91
ver 2.12b Test Version.
LHA sometimes failed to recognize 2 bytes Kanji-code.
Ignore Ctrl-C press while 'Copying TMP to ARC...."
Chnged error-level return 1 when LHA failed to create files.
LHA used to return error-level 0. 3 Jul 91
ver 2.12a Test Version.
LHA recognized erroneously parent directory name '..' as '_.'
With option /i2, LHA now stores pathnames in underscore.
15 Apr 91
ver 2.12
'/-' option has now takes three values [0|1|2] so that only
the letter '@' is recognized as the firsst charcter of a
file name. The motivation for the change is to let Environmental
string enable to set responce file. The limitation on the number
of environmetal sstrings, 64, is removed. In the process of
dearchiving with wildcard specification, LHA sometimes forgot
the number of files dearchived. In some cases, SFX file aborts
without warning message. LHA.doc has certain missing informations,
like /a switch of SFX, and so on.
21 Mar 91
ver 2.11
When a group of archives are specified with wild card, and when
LHA fails to find specified file name in some of them, LHA
neglects further search with 'e','x','p' and with 's' options.
With detecting Disk Full warning, in some cases LHA leaves the
old archive with the name LHTMP)1(.LZH. If there is a certain path
names with 2 bytes (Japanese KANJI) characters, LHA archives in
strange path name with /i0 option. The SFX routine may corrupt
after auto-execution. These bugs were fixed.
3 Mar 91
ver 2.10
The first general public release since LH113c in mid-1989.
In some cases, even with the /i0 switch, path names in
under_score were recorded. This bug was fixed. In the making-
SFX routine, /m1 option could not shut up asking [Y/N]. With
applying the 't' command to the archive having extension LZH,
LHA checks for the bytes padded before the files. You can now
specify extensions for the files to be archived with no compres-
sion if using the '/z' option, to distinguish the original and
the one which is archived.
24 Feb 91
------------------------------------------------------------------------
ver 2.06
You can add or delete files from an executable SFX.EXE while
preserving the SFX feature. LHA also accepts a file names like
FILE.TAR.Z, with more than two 'periods' inside the file name
made on other OS. The display routine for 'm' and 'u' is fixed.
There were files on which LHA would hang without compressing.
LHA sometimes failed to check 'disk full' and caused a FAT
allocation error. These bugs were fixed.
16 Feb 91
ver 2.05b
The routine making SFX had a minor bug. Fixed.
7 Feb 91
ver 2.05a
The environmental variable is correctly set to LHA from LH.
Removed a bug when some extra code is appended after the end of
the archive. Display for the 'u','m' commands and 'Skipped'
file warnings are showed explicitly. The time stamp works
after 2038 A.D. Changed the /@ option to /- following GNU's
convention. The /a option for attributes when dearchiving,
is corrected. Previously checks whether a new archive can be
created. Under the environment 'APPEND' command of MS-DOS
was issued, some files could not be opened. This bug was fixed.
When there are no files to be archived, LHA will exit with
ERRORLEVEL=2. When some of the file names are not actually
used, LHA warns against the filename, with ERRORLEVEL=1.
6 Feb 91
ver 2.05
Changed the name of the program to LHA. (IBM is using LH for
DOS 5.0, etc. as "Load High.") Fixed a bug in the compression
process. A bug in memory management with 4KB dictionary is
fixed. LHA now checks strictly the end of the archive. A new
checking routine is included to know the end of compression
with corrupt files.
New '/@' option is added. English BETA version (LHA205) is
released.
1 Jan 91
------------------------------------------------------------------------
ver 2.04a
Fixed a bug in the display if using the /o option.
Fixed a bug in the CRC checks right after testing authenticity.
A new improvement in the compression speed.
20 Jan 91
ver 2.04
LH displays the state of action. An additional information
option /l is available. LH recognizes '@' written in the
response file as the first letter of the file name.
LH never removes the temporary working file when LH can't
execute the entire process. LH had a bug which erased them on
some occasions. Temporary files are named 'LHTMP)1(.LZH' and
'LHTMP)2(.LZH'. Fixed bug LH may take a header of level 2 for
the end of archive. Fixed bug that caused some confusion when
printing more than one file with the 'p' command. The routine
to compute the room that is left on a disk is corrected for
the older DOS version 2.xx..
The buffer size was extended, decreasing the number of disk
accesses used.
18 Jan 91
ver 2.03a
Some improvements in the SFX header size, with some bugs fixed.
4 Jan 90
ver 2.03
A new SFX routine was added.
3 Jan 90
ver 2.02f
Fixed a bug in archiving files when LH was unable to compress.
29 Dec 90
ver 2.02e
Bug in ompression routine is fixed. LH prevents panic even
if some of the decoding information is not present. The stack
size is changed to the default value of the "LSIC" compiler.
27 Dec 90
ver 2.02d
LH breaks off immediately after the first hit of ^C. Dear-
chiving routine of '*.LZS' files is made straight. LH
changed attribute with option /a0. Fixed a serious bug if
using the 'f' command.
25 Dec 90
ver 2.02c
Bug fixed for checking disk full when LH is archiving. Made
'x' command equivalent to 'e' command with option /x1m1.
3 Dec 90
ver 2.02b
Made its first public appearance in the accompanying disk
of C-Magazine. LH changed the routine to suppress the extra
^M, when LH makes an output with DOS redirection.
21 Nov 90
ver 2.02a
The first version of LH-series with some routines in .ASM
machine code. LH starts to check its' own authenticity from
this version on.
