- What's New in ZIP'R Pro For DOS Version 2.00
-
- ──> Built-In Compression!
- Version 2.00 of ZIP'R Pro contains new built-in compression, compatible
- with PKZIP 2.0. This makes it possible to use ZIP'R Pro without
- needing any outside compression program. The built-in compression
- creates files with a .ZIP extension, and can decompress files created
- with PKZIP 2.0. (Likewise, files created with the internal compression
- can be viewed and decompressed using PKZIP 2.0.)
-
- ──> New User Levels!
- The ZIF Editor Pro now contains 3 specific user levels, to allow
- beginner, intermediate, or advanced users to customize the way the ZIF
- Editor works. Advanced users will have access to all the settings
- previously available. Intermediate users will have a scaled-down
- version, with access to some of the more sought-after features.
- Beginners will use a bare-bones version, making it as easy to use as
- possible.

- What's New in ZIP'R Pro For DOS Version 1.27
-
- ──> Maintenance Release
- Version 1.27 is a maintenance release. A more attractive color scheme
- is now being used in the ZIF Editor, and all drop-down boxes have been
- replaced with radio buttons to make the interface easier to use,
- especially for those who may not have a mouse.
-
-
- What's New in ZIP'R Pro For DOS Version 1.26
-
- ──> Maintenance Release
- Version 1.26 is a maintenance release. Several issues were addressed
- in ZIPRPRO.EXE, including a problem where the prelog screen would be
- displayed, even if a delay of 0 was specified (for registered users
- only). Support for the F1 (Help) key in the ZIF Editor Pro was also
- enhanced.
-
-
- What's New in ZIP'R Pro For DOS Version 1.25
-
- ──> Maintenance Release
- Version 1.25 is a maintenance release, fixing a bug in the ZIF

- selected.
-
-
- What's New in ZIP'R Pro For DOS Version 1.24
-
- ──> Cleanup Maintenance Now Executed From ZIF Editor.
- The /Cleanup option that was previously executed from the ZIP'R Pro
- command line has now been moved into the ZIF Editor Pro. This option
- can be found under the ZIP'R Pro Settings menu, and makes the cleanup
- process much easier to access and execute. (The support for /Cleanup
- from the ZIP'R Pro command line has been removed, thus reducing the
- ZIP'R Pro code size by 11K in its uncompressed format.)
-
-
- ──> Maintenance Release
- Version 1.24 is a maintenance release, correcting several minor,
- obscure problems. For a complete list of changes, see the revision

- What's New in ZIP'R Pro For DOS Version 1.22
-
-
- ──> RAM Disk Support!
- Version 1.22 now supports the use of a RAM Disk for extracting and
- executing a program. To use this feature, simply specify the RAM drive
- and directory where the program should be executed from in the
- executable file field. ZIP'R Pro will decompress the program to this
- directory on the RAM disk (provided there is enough space), and will
- recompress the program back to the original directory on the hard drive
- when it is finished. Be very careful when using this feature! If your
- program would cause the computer to hang when it is being executed from
- the RAM disk, you would likely lose any changes you had made to your
- data files. Why use a RAM disk? Speed! One program that I tested
- this feature with was 2.5 times faster when decompressing files than
- when the RAM disk wasn't used. If you want a little extra speed, try
- using a RAM disk.

-
- ──> Work-Around For OS/2 Sub-Directory Creation Problem.
- Problems have been reported when using PKUNZIP under OS/2 in a global
- Novell Netware session. PKUNZIP is not always able to create sub-
- directories when decompressing a file. (Whether this is a problem with
- OS/2, Novell, or PKWare is unknown.) To circumvent this problem, ZIP'R
- Pro contains a new feature to manually create these directories before
- handing off to PKUNZIP.

- IN Command, Program, and OUT Command execution routines. If an error
- occurs, ZIP'R Pro traps the error and prompts the user whether to
- continue or not.
-
-
- ──> New /CLEANUP option
- ZIP'R Pro now supports the use of a /CLEANUP command to erase all
- signal files from the ZIP'R Pro directory. This option should be used
- with care to ensure that no other processes are using ZIP'R
- Professional. If you are operating under a network or multitasker
- environment and have experienced hangs, you could have some leftover
- token (signal) files in your \ZIPRPRO sub-directory. Make sure no one
- else is using ZIP'R Pro and type ZIPRPRO /CLEANUP to erase all
- leftover signal files.
