IFL
Interior File Listing Utility
Copyright 1989 by Martin Pollard. All rights reserved
Version 1.00 - 02/11/89
Initial release. ARC, PAK and ZIP archives supported.
Version 1.10 - 02/24/89
1. Added support for archives created with SEA's ARC 6.x, which
uses new header codes to support subdirectory archiving.
2. Restructured much of the code. This allowed for the addition
of the new features described below without adding much over-
head to the executable file.
3. Added automatic extension support (described earlier in this
documentation).
Version 1.20 - 03/15/89
1. Added support for ZOO-format archives.
2. The message line above the headings was changed to a more
descriptive message. Also, the drive and pathname is no
longer displayed before the archive filename. (This was done
so BBS operators who incorporate IFL into their systems can
keep secret the locations of their file directories.)
3. Corrected a minor (and rare) problem in which a non-archive
file could be mistaken for a ZIP archive file.
Version 1.30 - 05/09/89
Added support for LZH-format archives (created by LHARC).
Version 1.40 - 07/15/89
1. Added support for the Imploding compression method introduced
in PKZIP v1.01.
2. Optimized parts of the program, for both cosmetic and speed
purposes (especially during the automatic extension search).
3. Made minor corrections to the documentation, including some
spelling corrections and changing the mailing address.
Version 1.41 - 08/03/89
1. Added support for archive files created by LHICE, which is
simply LHARC with a different name and file extension (.ICE);
the file format is the same.
2. Added partial support for archive files created by PAK 2.0
(the Distilled compression method in particular). Displaying
pathnames is not supported because, frankly, I am tired of
trying to keep up with companies that attempt to extend the
outdated ARC format in order to make it do things it was never
designed to do. The chase ends here!
Version 1.42 - 08/04/89
Removed support for archive files created by LHICE. As it turns
out, LHICE was an unauthorized (and potentially dangerous) hack of
LHARC v1.13c. This has taught me to test something out thoroughly
before jumping the gun!!!
Version 1.50 - 11/26/89
1. Added support for archive files created by DWC. Individual
file comments are not supported.
2. Added color output using direct screen writes, with a pause
after a full screen. Command line switches can inform IFL to
use BIOS video routines ("-B"), inhibit the full-screen pause
("-P"), and use the standard output for redirection purposes
and BBS usage ("-R").
3. The code has been totally reorganized, which gained a modest
reduction in the size of the executable file.
4. Support for ARC 6.0 files has been removed, which allowed the
addition of the aforementioned extra features with a minimal
increase in the size of the executable file. I don't know of
anyone actively using ARC 6.0; if I get enough complaints,
I'll put it back in.
5. Restructured the documentation (again), and changed the
mailing address (again).
