-
- Version 1.00 - 02/11/89
-
- Initial release. ARC, PAK and ZIP archives supported.
-
- Version 1.10 - 02/24/89
-
- 1. Added support for archives created with SEA's ARC 6.x, which
- uses new header codes to support subdirectory archiving.
- 2. Restructured much of the code. This allowed for the addition
- of the new features described below without adding much over-
- head to the executable file.
- 3. Added automatic extension support (described earlier in this
- documentation).
-
- Version 1.20 - 03/15/89
-
- 1. Added support for ZOO-format archives.
- 2. The message line above the headings was changed to a more
- descriptive message. Also, the drive and pathname is no
- longer displayed before the archive filename. (This was done
- so BBS operators who incorporate IFL into their systems can
- keep secret the locations of their file directories.)
- 3. Corrected a minor (and rare) problem in which a non-archive
- file could be mistaken for a ZIP archive file.
-
- Version 1.30 - 05/09/89
-
- Added support for LZH-format archives (created by LHARC).
-
- Version 1.40 - 07/15/89
-
- 1. Added support for the Imploding compression method introduced
- in PKZIP v1.01.
- 2. Optimized parts of the program, for both cosmetic and speed
- purposes (especially during the automatic extension search).
- 3. Made minor corrections to the documentation, including some
- spelling corrections and changing the mailing address.
-
- Version 1.41 - 08/03/89
-
- 1. Added support for archive files created by LHICE, which is
- simply LHARC with a different name and file extension (.ICE);
- the file format is the same.
- 2. Added partial support for archive files created by PAK 2.0
- (the Distilled compression method in particular). Displaying
- pathnames is not supported because, frankly, I am tired of
- trying to keep up with companies that attempt to extend the
- outdated ARC format in order to make it do things it was never
- designed to do. The chase ends here!
-
-
-
- Version 1.42 - 08/04/89
-
- Removed support for archive files created by LHICE. As it turns
- out, LHICE was an unauthorized (and potentially dangerous) hack of
- LHARC v1.13c. This has taught me to test something out thoroughly
- before jumping the gun!!!
-
- Version 1.50 - 11/26/89
-
- 1. Added support for archive files created by DWC. Individual
- file comments are not supported.
- 2. Added color output using direct screen writes, with a pause
- after a full screen. Command line switches can inform IFL to
- use BIOS video routines ("-B"), inhibit the full-screen pause
- ("-P"), and use the standard output for redirection purposes
- and BBS usage ("-R").
- 3. The code has been totally reorganized, which gained a modest
- reduction in the size of the executable file.
- 4. Support for ARC 6.0 files has been removed, which allowed the
- addition of the aforementioned extra features with a minimal
- increase in the size of the executable file. I don't know of
- anyone actively using ARC 6.0; if I get enough complaints,
- I'll put it back in.
- 5. Restructured the documentation (again), and changed the
- mailing address (again).
