- 1. Features
- -------------
- The public version of UNACE is limited in its functionallity:
-
- * no EMS/XMS support
- * decompression dictionary limited by the target system;
- this means that the 16bit version has a maximum of 32k only
- * no decryption
- * no wildcard-handling
-
-
- 2. Platform compability
- -------------------------
- There are different makefiles and OS.H files in the directories of
- public UNACE. Just copy the files of the directory for the system
- you want to compile for. It might be necessary to modify different
- things a bit to get it working with new compilers.
- If you had to do so, please tell me about these changes!
-
- This source has been tested as 16bit and 32bit MS-DOS, 16bit and 32bit
- Windows (character mode), Amiga, PPC-Amiga and LINUX executable.
-
- If you have any suggestions to make it more compatible for
- other platforms tell me please:
-
- email: mlemke6413@aol.com
-
-
- 3. Compiling
- --------------
- To get UNACE.EXE choose the correct makefile and copy it to the source
- directory to run your MAKE-utility on it.
-
- Choose a 32bit target if possible. Otherwhise there might be not enough
- memory to decompress archives with dictionaries larger than 32kb.
-
