- Version 2.1 differs from version 2.0 in the following ways:
-
- 1) Fixed touchexit bug in all file select windows.
-
- 2) Switched from 2K to 4K (11 bit to 12 bit) buffer for LZA.
- Sped up search using HASH table for first byte and self-
- balancing binary search trees thereafter. (Will still
- expand old LZA files.)
-
- 3) Replaced RAMdisk; no longer bombs when directory fills up.
-
- 4) Dropped Huffman compression option. (Will still expand
- Huffman files.)
-
-
- Version 2.2 differs from 2.1 in the following ways:
-
- 1) Can now format 1.44M (High Density) floppies.
-
- 2) Fixed DMA alignment problems for faster floppy I/O.
-
- 3) Switched from 4K to 16K (12 bit to 14 bit) buffer for LZA.
- (Not compatible with files created by version 2.1)
-
-
- Version 2.3 differs from 2.2 in the following ways:
-
- 1) Fixed bug in memory manager.
-
- 2) Now ST compatible.
-
- 3) Uses track buffering for better floppy I/O performance.
-
-
- Version 2.4 differs from 2.3 in the following ways:
-
- 1) Fixed bug when file header is bigger than track buffer.
-
- 2) Geneva compatible.
-
-
- Version 2.5 differs from 2.4 in the following ways:
-
- 1) Added VERIFY option.
-
- 2) Preserves bad cluster list on floppy during erase.
-
- 3) Fixed bug in RAM manager.
-
-
- Version 2.6 differs from 2.5 in the following ways:
-
- 1) Improved compression algorithms.
-
- 2) Added ARCHIVE option. This allows you to backup to any disk
- drive, and to write archive files larger than will fit into
- RAM.
-
-
- Version 2.7 differs from 2.6 in the following ways:
-
- 1) Improved the speed of LZA compression.
-
- 2) Changed default extender for archive from BAK to BKP.
-
- 3) Put most menus into windows for better multi-tasking.
-
- 4) Replaced rubberbox file selection with simple mouse drag.
- Dragging the mouse off the edge causes the files to scan
- down (or up).
-
- 5) Added lists of file extenders (stored in ELFBACK.INF).
- One list is for files to be ignored during backup.
- The other list is for files to be backed up without
- compression.
-
- 6) Improved error recovery for OUT OF RAM errors.
-
- 7) 3D buttons and color icons (with AES 4.0+).
-
-
- Version 2.8 differs from 2.7 in the following ways:
-
- 1) Fixed bug in EXT List (RSC file).
-
- 2) Allows wildcards in extender list.
-
- 3) Multitasks during floppy format.
