- /* readme.first */ <= I am learning ARexx :^)
-
- Changes-> version 1.0 to 1.1. A LOT of bugs have been squashed, LAZi
- has really been fumigated.
-
- * There are two versions of the LAZi executable in two directories in the
- LAZiv11.lzh archive. The directory, LAZi_13/, contains the LAZi executable
- and LAZidefaults file for Workbench v1.3. The directory, LAZi_204/,
- contain the files for Workbench v2.04.
-
- The main difference is the Workbench color swap, PLUS the v2.04
- version's Main window is an Application Window. Just drop the icon(s)
- for the archive anywhere within the window and LAZi will extract all
- the files in the archive to the DST directory (see docs for DST
- explanation) with expanded paths.
-
- * Archiving directories in Options window now functions correctly.
-
- LAZi will archive subdirectories using LHarc, LZ, and Zoo.
-
- * LAZi now returns to the window it was iconified from.
-
- LAZi attempts to free unused memory when traversing windows; a short
- delay may occur.
-
- * LAZi now partially supports LZ by Jonathon Forbes.
-
- LZ support was added due to requests. I say partially because LAZi
- will NOT add/create .lha files (it will add/create .lzh files) although
- it will unarchive and list them using LZ. If LZ is in your default path
- (see docs) LAZi will use it. If not, it will use LHarc, if it exists.
- If you do not have LZ then LAZi may produce an error when trying to
- manipulate .LHA files. LAZi was tested with LZ version 1.92.
-
- * LAZi's windows are 'sticky'.
-
- Sticky, in this case, means that when you position a window, go to
- another, then return, the window will redraw in the position you last
- left it. The redraw is rather 'ugly' right now but I hope to smooth this
- out. This function is mostly for those who use an overscan workbench.
- LAZi will save, in the config file, the positions of the iconified
- and main window (see the DEFAULT section in the doc file). You must
- reposition the OPTIONS and VIEWER windows if restarting LAZi, for now.
- I recommend using the ZOOM gadget for resizing due to speed and esthetic
- considerations (or lack thereof) :^)
-
- * "«" (SRC/DST to defaults) button added to Main window.
-
- In the previous versions clicking the RMB (right mouse button) would move
- you to the Main window and reset your current Source directory to default.
- This was a pain if you were 3 directories down in the Options window and
- just wanted to return to the Main window with the current directory. Now
- clicking the RMB will still return you to the Main window with your
- current SRC/DST directories. The "«" button will reset the Source and
- Destination directories to default.
-
-
- Due to the size of the total archive (two versions and whatnot) I removed
- the 'deckrunner bound' (small) version of LAZi. I will upload the
- unbound version onto Portal shortly.
