- Program UPDATE LOG
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- ===============================================================================
- Version 1.0 4/17/89 - Original version
-
- ===============================================================================
- Version 1.1 5/20/89 -
-
- Two new features have been added with LZHConvert v1.1:
-
- 1. LZHConvert now gives you the option to set the date to that of the original
- ARC/PAK/ZIP file with the command line option "T."
-
- 2. LZHConvert v1.1 also gives you the option to create self-extracting LHARC
- files with the "S" option. This way, you can unfreeze the file by just
- typing the name.
-
- ===============================================================================
- Version 1.2 6/15/89 -
-
- Version 1.2 of LZHConvert represents bug fixes to the self-extracting
- feature of version 1.1. In version 1.1 the program terminated with a runtime
- error after creating the self-extracting archive and the .COM or .EXE file
- was placed in the incorrect directory. With version 1.2, this problem has
- been corrected, and the program can also handle self-extracting .EXE files as
- well as .COM files. Version 1.2 also includes better error-checking and a
- few cosmetic changes.
-
- ===============================================================================
- Version 1.3 6/24/89 -
-
- Once again two major new features have been added with LZHConvert v1.3,
- aside from noticeable cosmetic changes:
-
- 1. LZHConvert now creates a log file entitled "LZHC.LOG" of each file
- converted. To disable this function use the new command line parameter of
- "L". This new feature makes it easier to see what happened when you weren't
- looking.
-
- 2. Recently a problem was brought to my attention with read-only files. I had
- never really thought of this, but the user brought up a very good point.
- When the old versions of LZHConvert encountered a read-only file, it
- converted ok, but did not delete the file, and this terminated with a
- runtime error because the directory still existed. That problem has now
- been remedied and LZHConvert will delete the temprary directory properly.
- I do, however, want to let everyone know that while LZHConvert (and PKZIP)
- CAN handle hidden and system files, but LHARC CAN NOT. So keep that in mind
- when converting .ZIP files with hidden or system files within them.
-
- I'd also like to say here that I am no longer releasing the source code for
- the program in this archive. However, you can still recieve it for a small fee
- (explained in LZHC.DOC). The CWARE unit used in all versions of the source
- code will be released to Turbo Pascal programmers at the same time as
- LZHConvert v1.3.
-
- ===============================================================================
- Version 1.4 9/19/89 -
-
- Even though with the release of PKZIP v1.01 this program is no longer
- as necessary, I decided to go ahead with an upgrade. It is rumored that LZHC
- has problems with PAK conversions, but unfortunately, I was not able to
- find the bug, so a fix for that problem has not been included in this update.
- The new additions to LZHConvert include
-
- 1. The most important addition (and the only true reason for the upgrade) is
- built-in error checking for the external programs (PKXARC,PAK,PKZIP,LHARC).
- The program now checks for the DOS errorlevel left by the programs, and
- acts accordingly by exiting and logging the error.
-
- 2. Second of all, a few cosmetic changes have taken place. LZHConvert now uses
- high video (more intense color) for it's own output, while the other
- pragrams' output is in normal intensity. Also you may notice that the number
- of Collision Theory has been changed from 703-425-4674 from 10PM-7AM to
- 703-503-9441 24 hours a day. Please take not of this change.
-
- There may be some other little things, including a few changes in the log
- file, but these changes are to miniscule to document.
-
- ===============================================================================
- Version 1.5 12/15/89 -
-
- This version of LZHC represents the fix of a bug that I noticed in the
- previous version. The bug was that when you ran the program without
- parameters, it would terminate with a runtime error. This problem has been
- corrected, and LZHC will simply show the help screen if no command line
- arguments are entered.
- I've also changed the color scheme slightly. The program now automatically
- begins with white text color. The only time it will change colors is when
- there is some type of error; at this point, the program will use the text
- color red. This may seem like a very small enhancement (maybe even too small
- to document), but I felt it was necessary to make errors more apparent.
