This file tells what is new in the different versions:
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Release 1.00 First beta-release ARJ an PKZIP combined in 1 program
Release 1.10 Made 4ARJ.BTM and 4ZIP.BTM instead of 1 program 4ARCHIVE.BTM
Release 1.80 First shareware-release
Release 2.00 First shareware-release outside Netherlands/Europe
Release 2.03 Support of AV-codes for 4ZIP.BTM
You now can tell 4ZIP.BTM you are a registered PKZIP-user
through the setup of the program, so that you can support
Authenticity Verification Codes
If you didn't register at PkWare, setting this option would
cause pkzip.exe to show the help-screen of PKZIP.
Release 2.05 Support of the ARJ ver 2.39+ graphical bar + percentage
instead of only a graphical-bar. The use of a graphical bar
indicator can be set through the SETUP of both programs
Release 2.07 The 4dos-select option would show always all files available
even if you use a wildcard such as *.EXE. This has been fixed.
Release 2.09 If you told the program not to archive hidden or system-files,
through the SETUP, using the 4dos-selectcommand, both programs
would show these files anyhow. The select-option will now only
show the valid files.
Release 2.10 Full support of 4DOS file descriptions, the DESCRIPT.ION
file will always be archived and if needed also in recursive
directories. During extracting the DESCRIPT.ION file will
always be extracted and joined/updated with an already
existing DESCRIPT.ION file within the extract directory.
Release 2.20 4ZIP.BTM will use now the DESCRIPT.ION to create file-comments
This option must be activated through the SETUP. This option
however slows-down the creation of the ZIP-file a lot. The
created file-comments are NOT used to restore the descriptions,
however adding file-comments means that the 4UNZIP.EXE program
from XD-systems can be used to do so. 4ZIP.BTM has its own way
to restore the descriptions. Be aware that the external 4UNZIP
program of XD-systems CANNOT handle stored paths in a ZIP-file.
Release 2.25 The Repair-option from the maintainance-menu of 4ZIP would
created a file PKFIXED.ZIP and would rename this file to its
original name (and call ZIP2EXE.EXE to make it a SFX-file again
if needed). This worked allright for a SFX-file, but it would
stop if the original file was just a ZIP-file, thus only
creating a file called PKFIXED.ZIP. This has been fixed.
Release 2.30 Some users reported after using 4ZIP or 4ARJ that a lot of
file-handles were left open thus forcing them to do a reboot
This has been fixed.
Release 3.00 Major upgrade with a bug-fix on the storage and recreating of
the 4DOS-file descriptions. Both programs will now create a file
called 4ZIP.ION or 4ARJ.ION which has the same syntax of the
DESCRIPT.ION file. It contains ONLY the descriptions of the
archived files and will be used to re-create the descriptions.
This method will now finally be 100% full-proof. You must have
installed FILES=20 or higher in your CONFIG.SYS. A typical
graphical-bar will be shown if descriptions are available thus
showing the progress during storing or re-creating the file-
descriptions. Read the README.COM (page 5/6) for further info.
Release 3.10 An error regarding the closing of filehandles which was removed
in version 2.30 came back by accident. Again corrected
