ARJDISP.DOC October 1995
New to ARJ 2.50 is a feature that allows a programmer to use ARJ,
DEARJ, or ARJSFX within an application in such a way as to allow the
programmer significant control over the ARJ display output.
It is possible to inhibit all ARJ/DEARJ/ARJSFX screen output and to
build a display program that ARJ/DEARJ/ARJSFX will use to display a
graphical output of the installation progress. This will produce a
more professional looking application.
The main drawback to this new display feature is that of speed. There
is a loss of extraction speed when processing archives with many small
files. For single diskette archives, this should not be a problem.
To see how all this works in practice, you should execute the
ARJDISP.BAT batch file and follow its instructions. This feature is
also available in the large ARJSFX (self-extractor) module and in
DEARJ.EXE. This feature is NOT available in the ARJSFXV (multiple
volume) self-extractor and the small ARJSFXJR modules.
The C source code for the ARJ$DISP.EXE program is provided to
ARJ licensees as part of the licensee ARJ software diskette.
Please note that the use of ARJ in a business, government, or
institutional environment requires either an internal use license or
a distribution license.
