- If you have PKWare alpha version 1.93, be SURE to read the NOTICE and
- the Disclaimer text included in ALPHA.DOC.
-
- AM version 7.0 includes new option switch support for PKWare version
- 1.93 in anticipation of release of version 2.0. AM 7.0 should be
- compatible with PKWare version 2.0 right out of the box. At this
- time the only 2.0 option not tested with AM is the multi-volume
- option (-&), which is not operable in alpha version 1.93.
-
- PKZIP compression type switch changes supported in AM 7.0:
-
- PKZIP 1.10 PKZIP 1.93 (2.0)
- -e[x/i/s] -e[s/n/x]
- x = maXimal compression s = fast compression
- i = implode only n = normal compression
- s = shrink only x = eXtra compression
-
- Since PKZIP 1.10 will NOT recognize the -en switch and will interpret
- the -es switch differently than does PKZIP 1.93 (2.0), you should
- use only the -ex option until PKZIP 2.0 becomes available.
-
- PKZIP new options supported in AM 7.0:
-
- NOTE: Do NOT use any of these switches with PKZIP 1.10 or earlier.
-
- [ ] -& Mult-Volume
- [ ] -= Compat Mode
- [ ] -+ No Use EMS
-
- -T[mmyydd] (files BEFORE this date)
-
- PKUNZIP new options supported in AM 7.0:
-
- Do not use with PKUNZIP 1.10 or earlier.
-
- [ ] -+ No Use EMS
-
- If any of these defaults are changed, the appropriate ZIP/UNZIP 2.0 option
- switches will be added to the command line by AM. If you are using
- version 1.10 or earlier, these switches will not be recognized and
- PKZIP/PKUNZIP will default to the help screen.
-
- BEST ADVICE: Do not change any of the new switches from their delivered
- defaults until PKWare releases version 2.0 of PKZIP and PKUNZIP.
-
- The PKWare version 1.93 package makes no mention of possible changes to
- PKZIPFIX or ZIP2EXE. Obviously, PKZIPFIX will have to be upgraded but
- it is not known at this time whether PKWare is planning a change to
- ZIP2EXE that will affect AM. Stay tuned, ZIP fans, ZIP is still the
- finest archive system on the market.
