                           SHEZ REVISION HISTORY

v9.7   02/25/94 Made correction to the routine that identifies ARC and PAK
       files.
       Corrected the Compressed file information pop-up screen to correctly
       display the total compressed file size.
       Corrected problem when ten user defined menu items are entered into
       the SHEZ.INI file.
       Made fix to allow extraction of files that begin with the @
       character.
       Added support for the UC2 (Ultracompressor II) compression program.
       ESC key can now be configured to EXIT SHEZ immediately.
       When sorting the list of files contained in a UC2 compressed file by
       filename or file extension the file's version number will be used in
       the sort criteria.
       Added new command CTRL-D to the DOS directory display.  This command
       will display the FILE_ID.DIZ or the DESC.SDI file if one of them is
       contained in the compressed file.  The file's contents will be
       displayed in a pop-up scrollable window on the right side of the
       screen.
       Added VIEW FILE_ID.DIZ to the mouse menu.
       In order to make SHEZ more compatible when running in a networked
       environment, the DISK setting in the SHEZCFG program have been
       changed.  Instead of entering an X to specify the default disk
       drive, a blank will now be used to specify the default disk drive.
       BE SURE TO RUN THE SHEZCFG PROGRAM AND CHECK YOUR DISK
       SETTINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
       Corrected memory allocation problem when moving/copying files.
       Corrected Tagged file counts in the DOS directory display window.
       Corrected problem with the Quit menu item. (Not always exiting when
       the exit item is picked)

V9.6   01/13/94 When sorting the Ascending/Descending dialog box will now
       show the default sort order. Pressing the Enter key will accept the
       displayed default.
       The DOS windows size has been enlarged.
       Before performing a copy operation, SHEZ will now check the target
       drive for available space.  If not enough space is available an
       error message will be displayed.
       Shez can now handle filenames beginning with a - for all supported
       compressed file types.
       Pressing the CTRL-X keys to exit was not working when issued from
       the DOS directory window - FIXED.
       Converting self extracting ARJ files back to a non-self extracting
       file has been fixed.
       SHEZ was not finding files when using the ? in a wildcard
       specification, this has been fixed.
       Added a new feature to only show the filenames of files that
       contains the search pattern when searching the contents of a
       compressed file.
       When pressing the CTRL/ALT and a function key, sometimes the
       function key line did not get updated correctly - FIXED.
       Added support for ZIP files that SPAN multiple floppy disks.
       If the number of files in a compressed file is greater then the
       number of files SHEZ has been configured for, a warning message will
       be displayed.
       Increased the number of files per compressed file SHEZ can handle to
       3500.
       (NOTE: Due to this change you may need to configure SHEZ to swap
       itself out of memory when running compression programs and external
       programs.)


V9.5   10/28/93 Added ability to extract single files whose file names
       begin with a - from ZIP and ARJ files.
       Added configuration items to specify default sort of Ascending or
       Descending order.

       compressed file.  Speedsearch will now accept standard DOS directory
       patterns instead of a single character.
       Minor modifications to the LZH recognition routine.
       Made modifications to the virus scan routine.  Shez will now first
       scan the .EXE or .COM files before attempting to determine if they
       are self extracting compressed files.
       Modified the exit routine speed up exiting SHEZ.
       Corrected some minor problems with the help system.
       Corrected minor dialog problems when creating new compressed files.
       Fixed memory allocation problem when attempting to allocate storage
       to handle 2500 files per compressed file.

       edited file back into the compressed file if the time, date, or
