- ZDIFF 2.0 : What's new ??
-
- 2.0 : ADDED Turbo Vision visual interface -> much more handy !
- ADDED Colorization of results on screen
- ADDED eXclude filters
- ADDED Ignore filters
- ADDED side-by-side output, for screen and/or file output (option)
- CHANGED sort order - dirs and files are now independant in sort
- DPMI version available separately
-
- 1.4 : ADDED the LIST feature. Now you can GENERATE a list from a set
- of files. (using /L)
- Later, you can re-use this list as any other set of files : you
- can use it to compare to another list, directory or archive.
- (use @FileName as the list file name)
- Note : you can also specify a label which will be included in the
- list - use /Lxxxx, where xxxx is your own label.
-
- Slightly changed the output, to allow more room for pathnames.
-
- FIXED : if a directory with no file in it, but with
- sub-directories was specified, and wildcards was used, ZDiff
- couldn't use it. This was fixed (in 12/29/93 version).
-
- 1.3 : CHANGED the GetDateformat information to use DOS Country accurate
- information only, instead of KEYB country flag.
-
- ADDED Japan date format in /Cx (override).
-
- ADDED /B option : Batch output.
- This tells ZDiff to output only the file names.
- You may use it in conjonction with -D (Diffs only)
- to obtain a list of the changed files, re-usable in an other
- program. (archivers...)
-
- ADDED /M option, Matching files only, to display only the files
- that are both in the NEW and OLD set of files.
-
- ADDED /Z trouble shooting option, to display technical
- informations while running, like date format used, ZIP format
- detected, and more. Use it if you think that the date format is
- not well detected on your machine, for example. This option
- doesn't appear in the help screen.
-
- ENFORCED ZIP control : Using PKUNZIP.EXE output, if compress
- ratio is 100%, or files are more than 999999 bytes, then the
- lines scroll on the right. This is now handled in ZDiff.
-
- ADDED Subdirs warning : Now, if you haven't specified the -R
- option, and an archive involved in the comparison contains
- directory path, a message is displayed to warn you, that NOT all
- the files from the archive were scanned.
-
- ADDED NoPath option : now, you can compare a ZIP or directory
- that contains subdirs, to a ZIP or directory that doesn't
- contains subdirs. You can then compare a 'built' version of a
- software, where elements are located in subdirs, and the
- development version, where all the elements are stored in the
- same directory. (there are many other applications for this
- option)
-
- CHANGED the way ZDiff display results in Quick mode, when two
- files have a size or date or time difference, it is marked as
- 'Differs' instead of 'Same'. Before, if CRC was not computed,
- files were assumed to be identical, and 'Same' was displayed,
- even if the time or size difference was indicated on the same
- line.
-
-
- 1.2d : DPMI support added. Now, you can scan very large disks, and even
- compare huge CD-ROM disks !
-
- The maximum number of files you can compare is 16380 with the
- DPMI version, and between 5000 and 9000 with the DOS version
- (approx.).
