- Level #: Comments:
-
- 1.0 Released as UnZipII; an unzipper for OS/2 only
-
- 1.1 Renamed to Extract2; added DOS support; added ARC support
-
- 1.2 Two minor bugs were fixed, one dealing with creating
- sub-directories when using the "-d" command, and the other
- dealing with .ZIP files within .ZIP files.
-
- 1.3 Format changes only; no processing was affected

-
- 1.5 Added support for the latest .ZIP file compression method
- ("imploding") as well as for encrypted members of .ZIP files.
-
- Also, found and fixed a significant bug in .LZH member
- processing that could cause large members in .LZH files
- to be handled incorrectly.
-
- 1.6 Minor patch to fix problems with the archive file name

-
- Extract2 (tm) is a utility designed for working with archive files. It
- provides list/text/extract capabilities transparently across .ARC, .ZIP, and
- .LZH files. The program will automatically detect the appropriate file type,
- and will search for all three extensions if the input file spec does not
- contain an extension. Run Extract2 with no parms for a display of the correct
- usage syntax.
-
-
- Compatibility:
-
- This program is currently compatible with archive files created by the
- following programs:
-
- - SEA's ARC, thru version 6.00 (excluding version 1)
- - Phil Katz's PKZIP, thru version 1.01
- - Yoshi's LHARC, thru version 1.13
-
-
- Limitations:
-
- - Will not handle the long obsolete version 1 .ARC files
- - Will not extract or test encrypted members of .ARC files
- - Will not process self-extracting .ARC or .LZH files (.ZIPs are ok)
- - "UnCrunching" has been thoroughly tested for the current "Crunch"
- algorithm. However, older versions of .ARC used a number of different
- algorithms, all labeled "Crunching". Although every effort has been made
- to assure that the handling of the older algorithm(s) is correct, I have
- been unable to actually test this code, as I have no .ARC files with
- members compressed using those algorithms.
-
-
- Should you discover any problems while using Extract2, I welcome hearing
- about them. Bug reports can be mailed to the address below, or you can leave
- a message (to "Sysop") on my BBS (phone # shown at the bottom of this file).
- When reporting bugs, a copy of the .ARC or .ZIP file you are trying to process
- should be included along with a complete report of the problems with trying
- to process it.
