But Sfx & Dialogs are raw files (unknown compression)

Version 4.20.83 [15-06-2001] Release B
[08-06-2001] Release A
i Here is the new version, not many new formats but preview is here at least!
(One of the options I wanted to add from long time). There is many things I
am thinking to add in the upcoming version (4.21). I wanted to add them to
version 4.20 but I was unable because of lack of time. Moreover I think I
will stop the version 4 developpement to start doing serious stuff for
version 5 (started in december).
i Using UPX v1.20.
! Oh my god! Previous version had huge bugs:
Fixed HyperRipper (Broken in 4.14)
Fixed extract from GZP files (Broken in 4.14)
+ New file format for translations (Dragon LaNGuage version 2).
Still compatible with version 1 files.
The translation files included are of version 2 format.
Included Dragon LaNGuage Compiler v2.0.
+ The big stuff: Picture preview!
Pictures from BMP,GIF and JPEG files.
Textures in WAD2,WAD3 and ART.

driver.

Version 4.14.80 [04-04-2001] Release C
[04-04-2001] Release B
i This version introduce an Install program (Inno Setup v2.0).
This leads to 3 types of releases:
FULL - Dragon UnPACKer with all needed Visual Basic 5 DLL files and OCXs.
~3Mb (This is for the first install of Dragon UnPACKer)
STANDARD - Dragon UnPACKer alone.
~1.5Mb (For updates or for people already having VB5 DLLs & OCXs)
ZIP - Dragon UnPACKer alone.
~1Mb (Version without EXE installer -- Expert users.. ;) )
i Now using UnZip32.dll v5.42 library.
+ Added support for Black & White SAD files.
+ Added support for realMyst 3D DNI files.
Based on the dniExtract source (http://www.rpi.edu/~taylok2/dniExtract) by
Ken Taylor <taylok2@rpi.edu>.
i The sho.dni file of realMyst 3D contains 13300 files.
Opening this file will be quite long. Don't think Dragon UnPACKer has
crashed. Just wait.
+ Added support for Serious Sam GRO files to the ZIP driver.
+ Added support for Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 PKR files.
+ Added support for Warlords Battlecry XCR files.
* Updated browse functions.
Now with better memory consumption using Dynamic resizing arrays.
That means for small numbers of embedded files much less memory needed.
And that also means for most of the formats no more maximum number of
embedded files.
! Fixed an ENORMOUS bug in the ZIP driver.
Now all files are viewed, and directories are not case sensitive anymore.
! Fixed a small translation bug in the Final Fantasy 8 PAK driver.
! Fixed a small icons/description bug in the root of Quake Engine PAK driver.
! Fixed some other bugs.
! There was too many supported formats, so the "All supported files.." entry
in the Open dialog box has been broken in 2 sub-entrues:
"All compatible files (1/2) ART -> VP" will list all supported files from
*.ART to *.VP.
"All compatible files (2/2) WAD -> ZIP" will list all supported files from
*.WAD to *.ZIP.
Sorry I cannot do anything for this because this is a limitation of the
Microsoft OCX.
i Default File type is now "All files..." instead of "All compatibles files".
Version 4.13.75 [05-02-2001] Release A
+ Added support for Sanity: Aiken's Artifact REZ files.
+ Added partial support for Giants: Citizen Kabuto GZP files.
Some files are compressed (unknown method).
If you can help me decompressing those files mail me (elbereth@drgsoft.com).

This new version is outstanding!!! (Compressing blazingly FAST).
i Now using UnZip32.dll v5.41 library.

templates (.UTH files) you can create (see utils/DUHTComp.txt if interested)
+ Added an option in the ? menu allowing to check for a new available version
of Dragon UnPACKer on Internet (You need an Internet connection of course!)
