There are a few undocumented features (2) in II+ UnShrinkIt that I should
mention before I fall asleep here:
II+ UnShrinkIt will test for corrupted archives while it is listing the
contents of that archive. In ShrinkIt 1.1, if you try to list the contents
of a corrupted archive, ShrinkIt will freak out and display garbage. Almost
the same holds true for the (U)nshrink function -- it, too will display
garbage. II+ UnShrinkIt differs in that it will stop at the first
corrupted header in the archive which it finds and only allow you to
selectively extract from those uncorrupted records *BEFORE* the corrupted
record. ShrinkIT 1.1's strange behavior has been fixed and will be
apparent in a future version.
To get a prompted extraction on an Apple II+, press "P" while II+ UnShrinkIT
is listing the archive. An inverse asterisk ("*") will apear beside the
filename. Otherwise, pressing <Open-Apple>-Space will allow for prompted
extraction. Just pressing <space> will allow for unprompted extraction.
Yes, II+ ShrinkIT is being worked on... just not at this moment. I'll have
the staff contact me in the morning. :-)
