NARC documentation addendum
Version 2.1
Copyright (c) 1987,1988 Infinity Design Concepts, Inc.
------------------------------------
NARC version 2.1 enhancements
BUG IN RELEASE 2.0 !
Extracting the highlighted file worked fine, extracting when all
files had been tagged worked fine, BUT when you tagged, for example,
the first and last file in the archive and extracted them, the first
file would be fine, but the second file would actually be the second
file in the archive, even though the filename was correct. We are
very sorry that this has slipped through testing and hope that it
has not caused any inconveniences.
Random extraction bug.
Oops! Release 1.3 had an extraction bug that showed up in some
crunched files. This has been fixed in release 2.0
Delete subfile bug.
Oops again! Release 1.3 had a bug when deleting subfiles from an
archive after having "viewed" a subfile and the total archive was
less than 64K. This has been fixed in release 2.1
Speed improvements.
This version of NARC has a greatly streamlined uncruncher. The
result is an additional 60-88% decrease in extraction times. Version
2.1 uses a very large stack, which avoids a time consuming link
and relink operation on the string table when decoding each string.
ALT-letter keys.
The now common ALT-letter key combination can be used to locate
specific files in the windows and the main screen.
New directory tree.
The SUB-WIND command has been totally replaced with a visual directory
tree. From the tree you can change drives, make directories, remove
directories and select a new directory. IT IS FAST !
Expanded HELP.
New context sensitive help system. The F1 or F10 keys will invoke
the new help system.
New View function features.
The view function now has mouse support and a text search function.
Search spec.
NARC has always recognized the .ARC and .ARK file extensions. Now,
however, you may change the .ARK extension to something else if you
wish. This is done via the "S" command from either the ARC file window
or from the main subfile screen.
Expanded mouse support.
Support of the mouse has been improved and extended to the view
function and ALL menus.
BIOS or DIRECT video writes.
It is now possible to configure NARC to use BIOS for writing to the
screen or the default of DIRECT video writes, with NARCCFG.
Call your editor.
Through environment variable support, it is now possible for you to
call your editor from within NARC with the F9 key.
Forced Black and white mode.
The new NARCCFG program offers an option that forces NARC to come
up in black and white mode.
Repeat key.
When NARC prompts for the destination path for extractions, the
CONTROL-R combination will cause NARC to repeat the last extraction
path (if any). You may even edit this path if desired.
