- This small intermediate update to Magnum Opus is being released in
- response to the feedback from the people on the dopus5 mailing list in
- relation to the new version of LhA. It will NOT be made available on
- Aminet. This archive contains three new filetypes, two Modules and a button
- bank.
-
-
-
- To use these new Magnum Opus parts, please make sure you are using version
- 2.1 of LhA from Aminet -
- "LhA.lha util/arc 92K 4+ Full LhA plus LhX (extract-only)"
-
- I would to take this opportunity like to thank everyone for the support
- and feedback I've been getting about Magnum Opus and the Magnum Opus
- Web-site, it is greatly appreciated.
-
- If you have any ideas or suggestions for anything you would like to see
- included, changed or updated please email me at the above address. Don't
- forget to check the web-site every once in a while as it is constantly
- being updated.
-
-
- Installation.
-
- Just copy the files to their corresponding directories in Opus Magellan.
-
- Filetypes/
-
- These filetypes are replacements for those supplied in Magnum Opus V3.1a.
- They now use the progress bar within LhA to display the un-archiving
- process when using Drag 'n' drop into another lister. The popup menu item
- to convert files to the "LhA Self-Extracting archive" has been removed as
- this is no long being officially supported at the moment.
-
- LhA V2, archive
-
- New filetype to recognise the newer -lh6- compression method used by LhA
- version 2.1 *Please do NOT upload files created with this option to Aminet
- as it is not yet supported. See LhA docs for more info on this.*
-
- LhA, archive
- LhA,Lharc, archive
-
-
- Modules/
-
- Screen-back.dopus5
- Screen-front.dopus5
-
- These simple modules show up as internal commands. If you still use Opus
- Magellan II on it's own screen they can be used to move the DOPUS.1 Screen
- to the back or front respectively.
-
- Buttons/NewArchivers
-
- This button bank has five buttons. The first two are for creating archives
- using the new progress bar within LhA, using either -lh5 or the newer -lh6-
- compression. The LhA -> LZX button has been updated to also use the new
- feature.
-
- The other two buttons are for creating either -lh5- or -lh6- archives but
- will put the DOPUS.1 screen to the back to show the progress bar on
- Workbench and then bring the DOPUS.1 screen to the from when archiving has
- finished.
-
- Finally, please note. These newer parts for Magnum Opus will probably be
- updated in the final release of Magnum Opus V3.2 which is set for release
- hopefully by the end of July 99.
