RPF Zip Control(TM) Copyright 1993-1996 RPF Software ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
History
-------
Version 2.3.3 June 29, 1996
--------------------------
* Additional CheckOut "Delete" modifications to also
eliminate the 10-20 second delay. This fix should eliminate
all previous problems with this function.
Version 2.3.1 June 9, 1996
--------------------------
* Further modifications to the CheckOut "Delete" function to
eliminate occasional WPS "file in use or busy" messages. The
method used seems to work, but does have a delay of 10-20
seconds before the temporary directory disappears from the
desktop.
Version 2.3.0 May 18, 1996
--------------------------
* Modifications to accommodate UnZip *5.2*'s new format for listing
.zip file contents.
Version 2.2.9 April 27, 1996
----------------------------
* May fix problem some people see when using CheckOut where the
Delete of the temporary directory (~delete.me) fails on one or
more of its files, particularly after application of FixPak 17.
Version 2.2.8 January 26, 1996
------------------------------
* New Installation program which does not have the
"SOM Object Not Installed" problem which occurred
with Warp FixPak 16.
Version 2.2.7 January 6, 1996
-----------------------------
* Warp FixPak 16 repositioned items in the standard file
open dialog box. The ZC UnZip, Select Directory dialog
was modified to accommodate those changes.
* Corrected a problem where the UnZip, Select Directory
dialog would only return the first 50 characters of
a path name.
Version 2.2.6 October 11, 1995
------------------------------
* Modified the EA Read code so that TVFS (IBM EWS software)
would work with Zip Control for files with EAs.
* Revised terminology in .doc and help files.
Version 2.2.5 August 19, 1995
-----------------------------
* Zip Control now creates session unique Work directories,
e.g., ~ZipWork.1, ~ZipWork.2. This allows multiple ZC
sessions without conflict between the associated
temporary files.
* Default output directory and default work location are
now created on the same drive as the ZC .ini file. This
is to make it easier for corporate installations where
ZipCntrl.exe may be placed in a read/execute directory
on a server and using the ZC parameter /I=x:\dir\zc.ini.
The location of the .ini file must always be in a
read/write directory, as must be the output path and
the work location.
* Repaired Drag and Drop when Crtl key is held down.
* Repaired Print, list of printer choices.
Version 2.2.4 August 9, 1995
----------------------------
* Repaired SYS3171 problem in OS/2 2.11.
* Repaired CheckOut, Scan failure to display report.
* Repaired AutoUnZip, which would not complete unless
either AutoTest or AutoScan was active.
Version 2.2.3 July 30, 1995
---------------------------
* Orders for Zip Control may now be placed with
1. OS/2 Shareware BBS
2. BMT Micro
3. Greater Chicago OS/2
each of whom accept credit card orders. Orders may
also be placed directly with RPF Software or CompuServe
(via SWREG). See Order.doc for details.
* Added an Install program.
* Implemented AutoUnZip (see Settings notebook, General
Options page). Create an additional Zip Control icon
(WPS program reference object) and add a "parameter"
/U (for UnZip). A zip file dragged to that icon
(with the /U parameter) will be automatically unzipped
to the default UnZip output drive:\directory defined
in the Settings notebook, Paths page or as controlled
by other Settings options ("Use zip location", "Put
files in subdir of zip location", etc.). Zip Control
will not appear to run (does not open any windows),
but will sound a tone upon completing the unzipping.
* Can now restrict Zipping (Adding) files to those
modified after a specified date.
* Added "Test" and "Scan" to the main window pop-up menu
under "File". Can also be used via Ctrl-T and Ctrl-S.
These permit an interactive Test (UnZip -t) or
virus scan of an open .zip file.
* Added AutoTest and AutoScan as General Options
(Settings notebook). If active, each zip file
will be automatically "Tested" (UnZip -t) and/or
virus scanned when the zip file is opened. The
AutoScan can be particularly helpful with the
greater access to the Internet.
* Can now **Open** a zip file by dragging and dropping it
on Zip Control's main window IF the Ctrl and Shift keys
are both depressed while the mouse button is released.
Otherwise, the dragged zip file will be "added" to the
currently opened zip file (current behaviour).
* Added "Drag and Drop Help" to the on-line help. It is
available by pressing the F1 key while dragging within
Zip Control or by selecting from the on-line Help index.
* Added to the Comments window the ability to view Extended
Attributes (EAs), if present. EAs are added to downloaded
files by the Golden CommPass CompuServe offline reader.
* Added "Select directory" button in the UnZip window to
use a modified file open dialog box to select the output
path (drive:\directory).
* Added CheckOut Auto-options for Test and Delete. Re-arranged
position of Delete. Allows automated processing for some
user configurations. If the Test Auto option is enabled,
Test will be auto-run when CheckOut is selected. When
exiting, if the Auto option of Delete is enabled, the
temporary Extract directory will be automatically deleted.
* Added "hint" help in status bar as mouse moves over buttons.
* Default options for the McAfee virus scanner are built into
Zip Control. Default options for the IBM AntiVirus scanner
have been added to Zip Control. Additionally, there is now
a Custom option which allows the override of the built-in
McAfee and IBM AntiVirus options. This Custom option
can also be used to define virus scan options for other
virus scan programs. Testing was not able to be done on
other scanners, so please report any problems with this
feature.
* Attempts to "view" a file with a .exe, .com, .bat, .cmd,
or .btm file extension while SmartView is active will first
be prompted for confirmation before continuing since
"viewing" such files cause the programs to be run.
* Now prompts on whether to continue when attempting to
UnZip to the Zip Control product directory.
* File Open Dialog box defaults back to Settings-defined
default Zip File Location if "last used" location yields
"drive not ready" message and user selects "Cancel."
* Delete ZC "work" subdirectory, ~ZipWork, upon exit, if empty.
* Modified Add, Select File(s) when "Store paths of selected dir"
is selected. This will now store the full path and file
name in the .zip file. When not selected and "Store path(s)"
is selected, ZC will store ancestor paths of the path which is
highlighted in the Select Directory list box.
* Repaired Add, Select File(s) when Store Path(s) not selected,
would not Add a file which had no extension (Error 12).
* Repaired Search, Delete to delete the highlighted file.
(Previously only worked when there was an open .zip file.)
* Added "Display progress window even if not minimized" option in
the Settings notebook, General Options page to force the
Progress Window to be displayed for UnZip, Add, Delete, etc.
even if the action window is not to be minimized.
Version 2.2.2 March 12, 1995
----------------------------
* Repaired broken Sort.
* Repaired case where UnZip output directory history would
not be built for a new Zip Control install.
Version 2.2.1 March 11, 1995
----------------------------
* Added the ability to create a .exe file from a .zip file.
This requires identifying in the Settings notebook the
path and name of the UnZipSFX.exe file which is included
in the UnZip archive (UNZ512.EXE or UnZip512.zip). See
pop-up menu (Right Mouse Button) or use Ctrl-Z.
* Added the
