- 10-07-1992 Version 1.00 (First Non-beta)
- ----------------------------------------
- ■ Completed entire ACZAR.DOC documentation file
- ■ Option "Locate Compression Utilities" in main menu OPTIONS to locate
- automatically compression utilities has been improved. It is now
- 6 - 15 times faster.
- ■ Added /S and /T command line switches to disable reading default
- directories and allowing to use current directories or specific
- source and target directories including wildcards. More in ACZAR.DOC.
- ■ Press ALT-C to set-up compression method and ALT-N to set-up conversion
- method within File Handling mode.
- ■ Rewrote internal ACZAR file reading function when in File Handling mode.
- This speeds up reading directories with many files up to 3 times faster.
- ■ Totally rewrote the build-in text viewer CLIST. It will now display files
- of ANY size without first reading file information. Initially, this makes
- the text viewer much faster. Also, the older version of CLIST hung-up the
- computer on certain data files. Fixed.
- NOTE: The print feature (ALT-P) and mouse support within CLIST has been
- disabled. This makes CLIST very fast. If you MUST have these
- features, contact CZAR Software. If enough requests exist, these
- features will be put back.
- ■ When decompressing ARJ files with switch "Extract files with full
- pathnames", ACZAR would put the files in the directory where ACZAR is and
- not in the target path. Fixed.
- NOTE: Unfortunately, ARJ stores full pathnames as a default when
- compressing. This results in misleading decompressions. So, if you
- do not like pathnames to be included in your ARJ files, you must
- use the switch "Exclude paths from names" in the SWITCHES main menu
- for ARJ files.
- ■ Fixed mouse cursor trapping error when opening or closing windows
- (mouse cursor would "disappear" sometimes).
- ■ Fixed several other bugs
-

- File Handling Mode. For example, press F3 to open the UnZIP switches
- window, F4 for the ZIP switches window etc. Just like choosing from the
- main menu SWITCHES.
- ■ Added "Network" switch on command line. Syntax:
- ACZAR /NETWORK or ACZAR /N
- The Network switch should be used if ACZAR is not able to detect drives
- higher than drive C: in default mode.
- ■ Completed Hot-keys in main menu
- ■ When in 43/50 line mode, the mouse cursor was reset to only 25 lines. Fixed.
