ZDIFF 1.3 : What's new ??
Compiled : September 16th, 1993
1.3 : CHANGED the GetDateformat information to use DOS Country accurate
information only, instead of KEYB country flag.
ADDED Japan date format in /Cx (override).
ADDED /B option : Batch output.
This tells ZDiff to output only the file names.
You may use it in conjonction with -D (Diffs only)
to obtain a list of the changed files, re-usable in an other program.
ADDED /M option, Matching files only, to display only the files
that are both in the NEW and OLD set of files.
ADDED /Z trouble shooting option, to display technical informations
while running, like date format used, ZIP format detected, and more.
Use it if you think that the date format is not well detected on
your machine, for example. This option doesn't appear in the help
screen.
ENFORCED ZIP control : Using PKUNZIP.EXE output, if compress ratio is
100%, or files are more than 999999 bytes, then the lines scroll on
the right.
This is now controlled in ZDiff.
ADDED Subdirs warning : Now, if you haven't specified the -R option,
and an archive involved in the comparison contains directory path,
a message is displayed to warn you, that NOT all the files from the
archive were scanned.
ADDED NoPath option : now, you can compare a ZIP or directory that
contains subdirs, to a ZIP or directory that doesn't contains
subdirs. You can then compare a 'built' version of a software, where
elements are located in subdirs, and the development version, where
all the elements are stored in the same directory.
(there are many other applications to this option)
CHANGED the way ZDiff display results in Quick mode, when 2 files
have a size or date or time difference, it is marked as 'Differs'
instead of 'Same'. Before, if CRC was not computed, files were
assumed to be identical, and 'Same' was displayed, even if the
time or size difference was indicated on the same line.
1.2d : DPMI support added. Now, you can scan very large disks, and
even compare huge CD-ROM disks !
The maximum number of files you can compare is 16380 with the DPMI
version, and between 5000 and 9000 with the DOS version (approx.).
Here is the new file distribution list :
WHATSNEW.DOC (This file)
ZDIFF.DOC (The documentation file)
ZDIFF.EXE (Normal DOS version)
ZDIFFD.EXE (DPMI hosted version)
