- ================================
- For UnZip 6.0/6.1/who knows:
- ================================
-
- o add multi-part zipfile handling
-
- top of the list!
-
- o rewrite to use fread/fseek/etc. [eventually: test
- write(bytes) vs. fwrite(words), especially on Crays/Alphas]
-
- soon (in conjunction with multi-part handling, probably)
-
- o incorporate new backfill version of inflate()
-
- wait for zlib version
-
- o check NEXTBYTE for EOF in crypt.c, funzip.c and explode.c, too
-
- soon
-
- o use (simple!) configure script in combination with Unix Makefile
-
- someday
-
- o add option to force completely non-interactive operation (no queries
- for overwrite/rename, password, etc.); also allow some sort of non-
- interactive password provision? (file? command-line? env. variable?)
-
- someday?
-
- o add testing of extra fields (if have CRC)
-
- later
-
- o rewrite to allow use as a filter
-
- way, way later...
-
- o add option to search zipfile contents for a string and print the
- results? ("zipgrep" option--e.g., unzip -g or unzip -S) (easy for
- fixed strings, hard for wildcards/true regex's)
-
- way, way later, if at all...probably use libregex
-
- o add -y "display symlinks" option to zipinfo? various sorting options?
- (-St date/time, -Sn name)?
-
- who knows
-
- o add "in-depth" option to zipinfo? (check local headers against
- central, etc.)--make it a better debugging tool (or just create
- zipfix)
-
- who knows (zip -F, -FF already exist)
-
-
- =======================================
-
- o miscellaneous little stuff: whenever
- --------------------------
-
- - decide whether to use WinGUI "skipping" diagnostics in extract.c
- - combine "y/n/A/N" query/response stuff into unified section with query
- function(s) (InputFn?)
- - disable ^V code in remain mapname() routines
-
- - change DOS -f/-u stuff to use DOS API for getting filetimes, not stat()
-
- - add (-N?) option to lose all user input and/or switch to "(*input)()"
- function, replaceable by UzpAltMain() param
- - add -@ option to read from stdin (zip) or from file (PKZIP)? (go32 built-in)
- - add -oo option to overwrite OS/2 and DOS system and hidden files, too
- - add option to compute MD5 checksum on files and/or on entire zipfile?
-
- - change filename-matching logic so case-insensitive if case-sensitive fails?
-
- - allow multiple dir creation with -d option? [Bob Maynard]
-
- - use gcc -pg, gprof to do profiling on unzip

- [GRR: 15 March 95 -> "early June"]
-
-
- Features from old BUGS file (mostly duplicates of other entries above):
-
- - ignore case for internal filename match on non-Unix systems, unless file-
- specs enclosed in single quotes
- - modify to decompress input stream if part of a pipe, but continue using
- central directory if not (BIG job!)--extended local header capability
- - add zipinfo option(s) to sort alphabetically, by date/time, in reverse, etc.
- - when listing filenames, use '?' for non-printables? [Thomas Wolff, 92.6.1]
- - add zipinfo "in-depth" option? (check local vs. central filenames, etc.)
- - create zipcat program to concatenate zipfiles
- - add -oo option (overwrite and override)? no user queries (if bad password,
- skip file; if disk full, take default action; if VMS special on non-VMS,
- unpack anyway; etc.)
- - add -Q[Q[Q]] option (quiet mode on comments, cautions, warnings and errors)?
- forget -oo, or make synonym? Default level -Q?
- - add OS/2 .INF format helpfiles for UnZip and ZipInfo?
