I've just received Version 1.0 of the Italian version of LHARC for the Amiga. I've sent the file LHARC100.ZOO to XANTH in the hopes that Tad will make it available to everyone. Thanks, Tad! Special thanks to Luca Spada for uploading it to the Hobbit Hole, my BBS. It's a long way to call from Italy! --- Cal // Cal Jones - Internet: <Jones@UV4.Eglin.AF.Mil> or \X/ BBS: 904-243-6219 1200-9600HST 340Meg, all Amiga --------------------------------------------------------------------- NW Florida's first Amiga BBS running on NW Florida's FIRST AMIGA! _____________________________________________________________________________ This file describes changes made to Lharc for the Amiga since vers. 0.31 - Vers. 0.33 3-Sept-89 -15% faster in compressing files -lharc no more crashes while archiving/listing zero length files -if T: is not assigned, temporary files go to current directory -Lharc now checks if a file is already in the archive before adding it -the add command used to try to add to the archive the archive itself! -other small bugs removed - Vers. 0.50 15-Sept-89 -added command 'move' -added command 'delete' -added command 'update' -added command 'freshen' -added wildcard '*' as a synonim of '#?' -if a new archive is created but no files are added, an empty archive is no longer left behind -sometimes Lharc crashed if you tried to unpack a corrupted archive -other small bugs removed - Vers 1.0 27-Oct-89 -now checks if a file already exists and asks for confermation before overwriting -switch p pauses lharc after loading (to allow swapping of floppies) -switch m suppresses confermation questions -switch x stores/extracts files complete with path names (if needed, directories are automatically created) -switch n suppresses the progress indicators -switch w lets you choose your own directory for temporary files -switch P lets you choose Lharc's priority -switch a stores/extracts files complete with their attributes -switch r recursively collects files to be added (you can now store an entire disk, complete with directories, with one single command) -switch u converts file names to uppercase (for 100% MSDOS compatibility) -wild cards now allowed in archive names (you can now issue commands like "lharc v *.lzh") -totally automatic handling of corrupted archives -name for temporary files is now Lharc.TMP_XXXXXX, where XXXXXX is a hex number representing the address of Lharc's Task structure (so you can now execute multiple copies of lharc at the same time) -file names are no more converted to lowercase -date of extracted files is now preserved -better I/O buffering makes it faster with floppies
