- 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
