- ARJDISP.DOC October 1995
-
-
- New to ARJ 2.50 is a feature that allows a programmer to use ARJ,
- DEARJ, or ARJSFX within an application in such a way as to allow the
- programmer significant control over the ARJ display output.
-
- It is possible to inhibit all ARJ/DEARJ/ARJSFX screen output and to
- build a display program that ARJ/DEARJ/ARJSFX will use to display a
- graphical output of the installation progress. This will produce a
- more professional looking application.
-
- The main drawback to this new display feature is that of speed. There
- is a loss of extraction speed when processing archives with many small
- files. For single diskette archives, this should not be a problem.
-
- To see how all this works in practice, you should execute the
- ARJDISP.BAT batch file and follow its instructions. This feature is
- also available in the large ARJSFX (self-extractor) module and in
- DEARJ.EXE. This feature is NOT available in the ARJSFXV (multiple
- volume) self-extractor and the small ARJSFXJR modules.
-
- The C source code for the ARJ$DISP.EXE program is provided to
- ARJ licensees as part of the licensee ARJ software diskette.
-
- Please note that the use of ARJ in a business, government, or
- institutional environment requires either an internal use license or
- a distribution license.
