SHEZ REVISION HISTORY v8.0 8/17/92 Version 7.5 - 7.9 skipped due to hacked copies being distributed. Made SHEZ Ultravision aware. If the screen is in an Ultravision mode not supported by SHEZ, SHEZ will deactivate Ultravision and then re-activate Ultravision at exit time. Corrected an EMS memory problem that caused SHEZ to lock up some PC's. SHEZ will not allows users to enter filename and directory names using the upper ACSII characters. I.E. characters with a decimal value greater than 127. Added the option to sort the compressed file list by directory name. When converting compressed files to another compressed file format, SHEZ will now identify the file format of the file to convert internally, withou taking the file extension into account. When converting compressed files from one compressed file format into another, SHEZ will attempt to retain the path information if it exists in the source compressed file. Modified the mouse identification code to identify more non- Microsoft mouse drivers. (If your mouse does not work try running the SHEZCFG program and set the FAST MOUSE RESET option to N.) When converting from a ZIP to and ARJ or an ARJ to a ZIP file format, you will be asked if you wish to retain the Volume Label information. (THIS OPTION WILL ONLY APPEAR WHEN CONVERTING ONE FILE AT A TIME. ALSO THE PROMPT WILL NOT APPEAR IF RUNNING SHEZ IN A DOS WINDOWS UNDER OS/2.) When creating a new ARJ compressed file, the user can activate ARJ's multi-volume support by responding to a multi-volume prompt. Added a new command ALT-F when viewing the DOS file list to run the PKZIPFIX program against the currently highlighted file. When using F8 to edit a file contained within a compressed file, SHEZ will attempt to use the path information if it is stored in the compressed file. Corrected the problem where the mouse menu is not appearing when double clicking on the left mouse button. v7.4 7/27/92 Version 7.3 was skipped due to a hacked copy. Increased the number of directory names SHEZ can handle in a compressed file to 100 directory names. Modified SGREP program to speed up search. Modified SHEZ to only function with the SGREP program. This was done due to problems redirecting output from other GREP type programs. Corrected some minor error in the SHEZCFG program. . When setting number of lines to display to 43 or 50 the setting would not be saved. . Unsorted directory selection would not be saved. Added ability to display a compressed file list unsorted. Page 1 SHEZ REVISION HISTORY Added Unsort to file sort options. Made small fix to routine that runs user specified external viewing program. When selecting the option to view the 4DOS/NDOS descriptions, the opt line of the screen will now display the complete description text. Removed the clock display from the screen. When using ALT-D to delete all files in the current directory that are conatined in the compressed file, the screen will only pause when an error is encountered, or all files have been deleted. Included a tutorial program/text file for first time SHEZ users. v7.2 6/16/92 Fixed slow copy times, when copying files from the DOS directory window. Fixed copy function so that files are copied correctly. Made additional adjustments to the speech friendly interface. When using the ALT-P command to specify an extract path, you may now enter single * to tell SHEZ to use it's floating extract path logic. Corrected memory allocation problem when using F9 to display a directory tree. Completely re-wrote the configuration program. v7.1 4/12/92 Fixed LOCKUP problem some users were experiencing. When testing a compressed file, and swapping is enabled, SHEZ will pause allowing the user to view the results of the compressed file test. When running under Desqview, the clock in the upper right corner is now de-activated. Added DEL key to delete highlighted/tagged files in the DOS directory window, and the compressed file window. When SHEZ is configured for floating extract path, entering the extract path on the command line will over-ride the floating extract path option. When running a virus check, if an error is encountered when testing a compressed file, SHEZ will pause allowing the user to see the result of the test. Added a configuration option to pause during a virus scan, allowing the user to view the output of various steps of the virus scan. The defaults for all XMS/EMS memory usage has been changed to NOT use XMS/EMS memory. Use the SHEZCFG program to change these defaults. Added a Speech Friendly Interface to aid blind users in interfacing SHEZ to a speech board. v7.0 3/30/92 Fixed mouse action when help panel is displayed. Added ALT-+ and ALT-- commands.

Changed macro activation keys due to numerous conflicts. Macro keys are now defined as: ALT-6 Start/Stop recording ALT-7 Playback ALT-8 Load and run ALT-9 Save ALT-0 Off and Flush Fixed Extract all Tagged file processing.

If no files are tagged then SHEZ will check all executable files, or all files, depending on how SHEZ was configured. Preliminary support added for PKZIP 1.93 beta version. Shez will identify the new compression method, and will extract files correctly from 1.93 zipped files. As soon as Phil Katz releases the SFX convertor program SHEZ will be modified to identify SFX files built by PKZIP 1.93. Added warning message indicating that shelling to DOS when running under DESQVIEW is not available. Added command ALT-G when viewing the contents of a compressed file.

When doing a virus scan the user can now cancel the scan by pressing the ESC key during the scan process. The virus scanning routine will now recognize self extracting compressed files and will scan the files contains within any SFX files found. Modified Speed Search routine when DOS directory is displayed. Pressing the same speed key move the highlight bar to the next item in the list, if one exists. Added F6 key on DOS directory screen to toggle between $.$ and *.*. Replaced the 'C' command (create new compressed file) with the F7 key to standardize the create new compressed file commands.
