- What's new in 4MICA version 2.50?
-
- o 4MICA now controls its own archive conversion, no longer needing
- Mr. Jung's REARJ.EXE. This was more for my sake, I hated not having
- 4MICA being completely independant.
-
- Bug fixes:
-
- o That grand new feature in version 2.00, Goto File, didn't quite
- work all the time; now it does.
-

-
- o 4MICA no longer has to be in the directory C:\4MICA, it can be
- placed anywhere in the path.
-
- o Mini DOS has a new addition -- Goto File, enter a filename and
- 4MICA will find it and then go to the directory where that
- file is stored.
-
- Bug fixes:
-
- o Trying to Convert Archives in a directory that had no archives
- caused an error to occur; fixed.
-
- o Trying to Extract Archives from a directory that had no archives
- caused an error to occur; fixed.
-
- o Trying to View Archives in a directory that had no archives
- caused an error to occur; fixed.
-
- Unless there are still bugs somewhere in 4MICA, future versions will
- have more time between release. I've finally gotten 4MICA to a level
- that I feel good about. 4MICA wont be stopping here, there will just
- be more noticable changes with future releases. Please, suggestions
- are greatly requested; while this program started out a simple program
- for my own use I'm now going forward in making 4MICA something that
- EVERYBODY can use....so please, comments, suggestions, etc...anything!

- 4MICA is a simple shell that makes the use of PKZIP and ARJ very easy and
- quick. Its small, very small. All of this is only possible through the
- wonderful genius of Rex Conn, Tom Rawson and their command interpreter,
- 4DOS.
-
- No, 4MICA does not cover everything that PKZIP and ARJ are capable of, it
- may one day, but currently, those extras are not the purpose of 4MICA. If
- there is a want though, I can fill it. 4MICA started because of my desire
- to quickly convert PKZIP files that I downloaded from BBSs to ARJ files,
- because simply, ARJ files occupy less space on my hard drive. And then,
- while the ARJ files were my preference, BBSs do not seem to agree, so if I
- wanted to upload a file, I had to reconvert it back to PKZIP. This became
- very tedious and I found myself becoming very lazy with this converting
- files back and forth.
-
- All of this, simply done, by a 4DOS batch file-- and in less than 12k of
- disk space. This is 4MICA's biggest and best part. Because we all know that
- what 4MICA does can be done by thousands of other shells. But then, how many
- are as quick to use, and as small? None.
-
- That's it for this file. Please, if you have a suggestion, or if you have
- any questions, please feel free to contact me at either the address above
- or on Matrix BBS, (205)/323-2016. Please note: 4MICA/CelestialWare, and
- Matrix BBS are in no way affiliated, only in that I am a registered user of
- the board. Thank you for sticking with me through all this.
-
- CelestialWare-- Don't be squeamish, its for your own good!
