- 1. Features
- ─────────────
- The public version of UNACE is limited in its functionallity:
-
- * no EMS/XMS support
- * decompression dictionary limited by the target system;
- this means that the 16bit version has a maximum of 32k only
- * no decryption
- * no wildcard-handling
-
-
- 2. Platform compability
- ─────────────────────────
- There are different systems listed at the begin of OS.H.
- Just place a "1" behind the system you want to compile for.
- All other system definitions have to be "0".
-
- This source has been tested as 16bit and 32bit MS-DOS,
- 16bit and 32bit Windows (character mode)
- and 32bit Amiga executable only.

- If you have any suggestions to make it more compatible for
- other platforms tell me please:
