- ZIP'R Professional For DOS Revision History
-
-
- 06-29-94 ■ Version 2.00
-
- . Added support for a user-specified compression mode.
- Valid values are BestMethod, Deflate, Implode, Shrink,
- and Store.
-
- . Added support for a user-specified deflate level when
- using internal ZIP compression.
-
- . Added support for user-specified implode values when using
- internal ZIP compression.
-
- . Converted the ClrScr w/Error Message calls to use the
- HandleError procedure.
-
- . Changed the ProcessErrorCode procedure to a function.
-
- . Modified the HandleError procedure to allow it to process
- error codes that must be passed to the ShowErrorMessage
- procedure.
-
- . Changed the DeletedFiles variable in the COMP unit from a
- literal string to a boolean.
-
- . Changed the MatchingFileFound variable in the COMP unit from
- a literal string to a boolean.
-
- . Added code to only display the gauge window when necessary and
- resize the compression window depending on whether the gauge
- window is displayed or not.
-
- . Changed gauge window display to be indented rather than out-
- dented.
-
- . Added a fail-safe check to the DeleteAllFilesExcept routine
- to make sure that the current directory is not the root
- directory of a hard drive.
-
- . Added a fail-safe check to make sure that the Accurate File
- Size Calculation displays Level 4 on the prelog screen when
- Internal ZIP is being used. (With Internal ZIP, all calculations
- are 100% accurate.)
-
- . Changed the directory existence checks to use a procedure from
- a commercial library, instead of our own STSI library. Our
- procedure was not handling root directories properly.
-
- . Added code to read the current entry when decompressing a .ZIP
- file with the Internal ZIP code. New code makes sure that any
- imbedded directories are created if they do not exist. Any
- directory entries contained without files are discarded. This
- allows more complete compatibility with PKWare's PKZIP. Previous
- code would cause a decompression error to occur.
-
- . Moved all of the DrawHeader and DrawCompressionScreen calls inside
- of the ZPExec routine, where possible. This fixed a problem where
- incorrect messages were sometimes displayed during the compression
- or decompression processes.
-
- . Fixed several issues relating to the display of the decompression
- query box that pops up when a duplicate file exists on the hard
- drive. Widened the available display for the filename and
- potential directory entry, and added fail-safe code to truncate
- these on the left side if they get too long.
-
- . Modified the remaining routines in the COMP, DECOMP, and
- EXECUTE units to use the HandleError procedure.
-
- . Created a common procedure in the COMP unit to contain the
- compression signal file related detection and creation
- code.
-
-
- 06-20-94 ■ Version 1.28 (Internal BETA Version - Not Released!)
-
- . Fixed a problem where the screen was not being cleared after
- windowed decompression. Added a reset of the screen and
- color output.
-
- . Modified shadows on compression and decompression screens
- to be completely black.
-
- . Added a command to reset the Window coordinates before
- attempting to write the file count or twirling bars display
- to the screen. After adding several window-relative routines,
- both displays were being written to a relative window, instead
- of the absolute screen coordinates.
-
- . Fixed a problem where the title and copyright notice on the
- Query screen started "disappearing" after other Internal
- ZIP windowing routines had been implemented. Used window-
- relative screen writing instead of absolute screen writing.
-
- . Created a textured background screen for the Internal ZIP
- compression and decompression windows.
-
- . Added a "Moving files. Please wait!" header to the display
- screen when files are being deleted after the compression
- process.
-
- . Added a call to the UpdateGaugeWindow procedure during the
- file deletion process to provide a visual progress indicator.
-
- . Altered the DeleteAllFilesExcept procedure to use a direct
- directory search to delete files, instead of a FileMaskList
- generated from the original archive file. This allows the
- procedure to work in all situations.
-
- . Changed the name of the stDeleteFilesIntZIP procedure to
- DeleteAllFilesExcept.
-
- . Created a header window to be used for displaying status
- messages during the compression / decompression processes.
- This replaces old code which simple used absolute screen
- writing.
-
- . Added a bar graph and compression/decompression window
- to be used when Internal ZIP is used as the compression
- type for a program. The bar graph is updated depending on
- the current file vs. the total files to be compressed or
- the total files located inside the ZIP file.
-
- . Created a common HandleError procedure in the Errors unit
- to centralize the compression/decompression error handling.
-
- . Created a common LaunchExternalDecompressor procedure in the
- Decomp unit, reducing final .EXE code size by about 2K.
-
- . Worked around a problem where an empty sub-directory would
- cause an error #2 during the compression process (File Not
- Found).
-
- . Set up a file counter to keep track of the total number
- of files that will be compressed into the internal ZIP
- generated file.
-
- . Enabled sub-directory creation during internal ZIP
- decompression.
-
- . Added code to recurse sub-directories during the internal
- ZIP compression process.
-
- . Made sure that the compression and decompression signal
- files are erased if an error occurs during internal ZIP
- compression or decompression.
-
- . Added code to call the Done routine if an error occurs
- during the internal ZIP compression / decompression
- processes.
-
- . Created a routine to calculate the exact disk space
- needed for extracting a ZIP file when using the
- internal ZIP compression / decompression routines.
-
- . Added preliminary support for internal PKZIP 2.0
- compatible compression and decompression.
-
-
- 06-10-94 ■ Version 1.27
-
- . No coding changes.
-
-
- 05-26-94 ■ Version 1.26
-
- . Changed the AddBackSlash procedure to stAddBackSlash
- when generating the ZIPRProPath. stAddBackSlash adds
- a backslash when the last character in the path is a
- colon.
-
- . Modified the behavior of the prelog screen display
- to prevent the screen from being displayed if the
- PrelogDelay was set to 0.
-
- . Fixed a problem where the prelog screen was being
- displayed when the PrelogType was set to NONE.
-
- . Changed all "Halt" statements to "stHalt(?)", where
- ? is the ERRORLEVEL.
-
- . Changed an error message in the DECOMP unit to use
- an stTVMessageBox.
-
-
-
- 04-22-94 ■ Version 1.25
-
- . No modifications. (See ZIFPRO.REV for modifications
- to the ZIF Editor Pro.
-
-
- 03-26-94 ■ Version 1.24
-
- . Removed all /CLEANUP option code from ZIPRPRO. This
- option is now available from the ZIF Editor. A code
- size reduction of about 11K was achieved.
-
- . Modified code so that ZIP'R Pro does not execute the
- program when the /TEST parameter is being used. It
- simply displays the parameters and exits.
-
- . Changed the "TEST" parameter to "/TEST".
-
- . Fixed a problem where the compression signal file
- was not being deleted if an error occured while
- attempting to test the archive integrity.
-
- . Fixed a problem where an error message was not being
- issued if a compression or decompression signal file was
- detected. ZIPRPRO would simply exit, with no warning.
-
- . Created enumerated types for PrelogType and
- RegisteredVersion, replacing the literal strings used
- previously.
-
- . Re-worked the INI and ZIF test display procedures to
- use string arrays. This change reduced the code
- size slightly, and substantially reduced the complexity
- of these procedures.
-
- . Converted the ScanActivityIndicator string variable
- to an enumerated type. Corrected a problem where a
- mis-spelling of a literal string could have caused
- the Twirling Bars to fail to work.
-
- . Added a common function to search for ARJ, LHA,
- PKZIP, and PKUNZIP in their respective paths, the
- ZIP'R Pro path, and the DOS PATH before calling
- any of these programs. The common function reduced
- the code size by .5K.
-
- . Modified code to check for the existence of a backslash
- at the end of the ARJ, LHA, and ZIP paths after they
- are read from the .INI file. If a trailing backslash
- is not detected, one is added.
-
-
- 03-10-94 ■ Version 1.23
-
- . Modified an error message about the program parent
- directory not being present to be more accurate by
- stating that either the program parent directory or
- the main program directory is not present.
-
- . Converted the FloppyFormat variable to an enumerated
- type within the code for easier variable-checking.
-
- . Added a ZPExec procedure that contains all compression
- and decompression related Exec functions. (Code size
- reduction of 6.5K.)
-
- . Moved several boolean variables into the INI and ZIF
- records, to make the code more concise.
-
- . Changed the default value for SubdirectoryDeletion to
- True.
-
- . Changed If..Else If statments in Errors unit to a Case
- statement to make the code shorter and more concise.
-
- . Moved all common string literal declarations into a new
- ZPSTRING unit.
-
- . Increased the estimated string array size for Exclude,
- Extract, IN, OUT, TSRPre, and TSRPost commands.
-
- . Converted CompressionType literal strings to an
- enumerated type.
-
- . Changed all error message strings that were passed as
- variables to a global routine into an enumerated type.
- This allows automatic compiler validation, and shortened
- the code by over 10K.
-
-
- 03-03-94 ■ Version 1.22
-
- . Added 3D effects to query and error screen dialog boxes.
-
- . Added an IOResult check and corresponding error message
- if the ProgramParent directory can not be successfully
- created on a RAM Disk.
-
- . Circumvented a potential problem in the compression and
- decompression routines where a default value for the
- Compression and Decompression Swap parameters was not
- being set. The compression procedure would issue an
- error message under this circumstance. Altered the
- code to provide a fail-safe parameter assignment.
-
- . Corrected a problem in the ARJ Decompression procedure
- where the "Default" Decompression Swap parameter was
- not being read.
-
- . Added code to convert the ZIPRPROPath to upper case.
-
- . Removed several "EraseDecompressionSignalFile"
- statements from the beginning of the DecompressZipFile
- procedure. This file had not yet been created at
- this point in the procedure.
-
- . Corrected a problem where the update option was not
- working properly. (Broken in 1.22, not released.)
-
- . Fixed a problem where a runtime error 202 would occur
- if the file PKUNZIP.EXE could not be found. The
- runtime error would be issued prior to displaying the
- error message from ZIPRPRO. (Increased stack.)
-
- . Added automatic ProgramParent directory creation if
- extracting to a RAM disk.
-
- . Added preliminary support for extraction to a RAM disk.
-
- . Corrected a problem where an error message would be
- issued if the "Program" directory did not exist. This
- created a problem if a "Program Parent" directory was
- specified, since the program directory might not exist
- under this circumstance.
-
- . Corrected a problem where the .N?? file was not being
- deleted if errors were detected when checking the
- validity of the values in the .INI and .ZIF files.
-
- . Shortened several code segments by using better coding
- techniques.
-
- . Corrected a potential problem where the .SXT signal
- file could be mistakenly deleted by ZIPRPRO.
-
- . Combined the Done and DoneNoSXTDelete routines into a
- common procedure. Added an enumerated type variable
- to pass to this procedure, informing it of any
- restrictions to observe.
-
-
- 02-26-94 ■ Version 1.21
-
- . Corrected minor spacing / carriage return problems on
- dialog box (Query) screens.
-
- . Corrected a potential problem where the /CLEANUP option
- would delete files in the current directory, not the
- ZIPRPRO sub-directory, if launched from a directory
- other than the ZIPRPRO sub-directory.
-
- . Corrected a problem where a runtime error 2 would occur
- in the CreateSubDirectoriesUnderOS2 procedure, because
- an Else statement was omitted.
-
- . Streamlined the code by creating two erase file routines
- to replace the separate erase routines used previously.
-
-
- 02-16-94 ■ Version 1.20
-
- . Fixed a major problem where the original .ZIP file
- could be deleted if the executable file could not be
- found and update option was enabled. (Data loss could
- occur in this situation, especially if Selective
- Extraction or Selective Exclusion was enabled.)
-
- . Added support to erase the *.DFL, *.NFL, *.OFL, and
- *.DIR files when using the /Cleanup option.
-
- . Added support to manually create subdirectories when
- operating under OS/2. This option will circumvent a
- potential problem where PKUNZIP cannot create sub-
- directories under OS/2. (This problem has been reported
- to PKWare.)
-
- . Updated IFDEF and IFNDEF statements throughout the code
- to minimize code size for each module.
-
- . Moved several string pointer variables into the INI and
- ZIF record variables.
-
- . Reduced the ARJ and LHA default memory requirements
- to more realistic levels.
-
- . Re-compiled with updated libraries.
-
- . Corrected a problem in the stTV3ChoiceBox procedure
- that caused the box to be too narrow to properly
- center a long header.
-
- . Added support to display the Command Processor and
- ZIP'R Pro Path information in the new style message
- boxes.
-
- . Corrected a problem where the TestFlag boolean was
- not being set early enough in the code to display
- the INI Parameters screen. (%2 = TEST)
-
- . Added support to display the .INI Parameters in the
- new style message boxes.
-
- . Added all missing .ZPD Parameters to the ZPD Parameter
- display procedure. Added code to display the first
- 10 INCommands, OUTCommands, ExcludeFiles, ExtractFiles,
- TSRPreProgramCommands, and TSRPostProgramCommands.
-
- . Added support to read old style .ZPD files, prior
- to current version. (Set internal flags if the new
- UseINCommands, UseOUTCommands, UseTSRPreCommands,
- and UseTSRPostCommands variables could not be found
- in the .ZPD file.)
-
- . Added support to display the .ZPD Parameters in the
- new style message boxes.
-
- . Fixed a problem in the stTV3ChoiceBox procedure, that
- caused a system hang if the maximum number of lines
- exceeded the pre-defined limit.
-
- . Added support to read UseINCommands, UseOUTCommands,
- UseTSRPreCommands, and UseTSRPostCommands variables
- from the .ZPD file.
-
-
- 01-30-94 ■ Version 1.19a (Internal Release)
-
- . Corrected a problem where the swap file name was not
- being passed to the swapping exec procedure. (This
- problem was introduced, in version 1.20, when the
- common exec swapping functions were created.)
-
- . Added support to specify whether EMS memory is to be
- used over XMS memory for the swapping exec procedure.
- The default behavior is to use EMS first, but may be
- overridden.
-
- . Added support to swap to XMS memory during program
- execution, if available. Previously, only EMS or
- disk was used for the swap file.
-
- . Modified the swapping-related procedure calls to force
- a swap (default) as a fail-safe procedure.
-
- . Modified the WindowedCompression and WindowedDecompression
- procedure calls to automatically force windowed mode
- (default) as a fail-safe procedure.
-
- . Converted all execute calls to use the new procedures.
-
- . Removed the STSI2 unit from the uses clause to prevent
- unnecessary compilation.
-
- . Corrected a problem where the swap file (.SWF extension)
- was not being erased when the /Cleanup option was
- specified. (This file has the system attribute set.)
-
- . Created common execution functions to reduce code
- size and complexity.
-
- . Corrected a potential problem where the compressed
- file could have been deleted, if an incorrect value
- for CompressionSwap or DecompressionSwap was read from
- the .INI file.
-
- . Converted the internal SortedExtraction variable
- to a Boolean type.
-
- . Corrected a problem where the .INI file was not
- being read prior to checking the cleanup password.
-
- . Changed the behavior of the cleanup password
- procedure to not prompt for a password if the
- password is blank.
-
- . Converted internal WindowedCompression and
- WindowedDecompression variables to Boolean types.
-
- . Reduced the memory requirement default values for
- PKZIP and PKUNZIP. (New default swapping option will
- be added to the ZIF Editor.)
-
- . Re-worked the .INI and .ZIF read routines to make the
- code faster and more concise.
-
- . Added support for the new INIVersion, ZIFVersion,
- UseDiskForExecSwap, UseEMSForExecSwap, and
- UseXMSForExecSwap parameters.
-
- . Re-arranged the order and placement of passed parameter
- related code, to allow the disposal of unnecessary
- pointer variables.
-
- . Modified dialog box code to allow centering or left
- justification.
-
- . Changed all error messages to be displayed using the
- new style dialog boxes.
-
- . Converted all query screens to the new style.
- Corrected various punctuation problems in the text
- of the new screens.
-
- . Modified cleanup password field to automatically
- convert characters entered to upper case.
-
- . Corrected a problem in the swapping Exec routines
- where the executed program would hang. (This problem
- was caused by the mouse handler routines not being
- disabled before performing the swap, and was introduced
- in version 1.20.)
-
- . Added password protection for the /Cleanup option.
-
- . Updated prelog screen to show the amount of Heap memory
- available.
-
-
- 01-20-94 ■ Version 1.19
-
- . Added additional error messages for new error checking
- procedures, and corrected a typo in a separate error
- message.
-
- . Enhanced the conventional memory available routine to
- provide a more accurate estimate of the amount of
- conventional memory available on the system. (This
- figure approximates the free memory reported by MEM.)
-
- . Corrected a problem where the logic controlling the
- loading of a command processor was backwards when
- executing a .BAT or .BTM file
-
- . Added a check to force a command processor to be
- loaded if the program to be executed contains a
- .BAT or .BTM extension.
-
- . Added support to execute the desired program without
- loading a command processor first. This increases
- the memory available to the program by about 3-5K.
-
- . Removed unnecessary "Continue" statements from the
- INI and ZIF file read routines.
-
- . Converted internal string pointer variables to use
- INI and ZIF records.
-
- . Added support in the TSR Container file section to
- use the AlternateEXELaunchDirectory feature.
-
- . Fixed a problem where the "CALL" statement was not
- being placed in front of the program name in the TSR
- Container file if the Parameters field was blank.
-
- . Corrected a potential problem where the current drive
- and directory was not being set prior to executing
- OUT commands. This could have been a problem if the
- current drive and/or directory was changed during
- program execution, such as when shelling to DOS.
-
- . Added support for an alternate EXE launch directory
- to make it possible to launch a program from a
- directory other than the one in which the executable
- file resides. (The program does NOT have to be an
- EXE file.) This feature allows programs, such as
- Microsoft Works, Borland Pascal, and others, to be
- executed from a data subdirectory.
-
- . Added preliminary support for string encryption and
- decryption.
-
-
- 01-06-94 ■ Version 1.18
-
- . Improved the Conventional memory estimate on the
- prelog screen to more accurately reflect the amount
- of memory available after swapping.
-
- . Updated the BIOS screens to match the direct-write
- screens.
-
- . Added support for AUTO, DIRECT, and BIOS screen write
- modes. This should help to solve any screen-related
- compatibility problems that might exist.
-
- . Added video mode detection when using the AUTO screen
- writes option.
-
- . Updated the prelog screen to display the status of the
- Use Atomic Lock Files option.
-
- . Updated the prelog screen to display the Selective
- Extraction (SXT) and Selective Exclusion (SXC) entries
- separately. (If either option is disabled, the
- corresponding entry count will be 0.)
-
- . Updated the prelog screen to display the status of the
- new Subdirectory Deletion option.
-
- . Added support to NOT delete sub-directories when using
- PKZIP v2.04g. This switch is necessary when an OS/2
- system is operating on a network in combination with
- other systems. Due to some sort of conflict, sub-
- directories can not be re-created under OS/2. (Unsure
- whether this is an OS/2, NetWare Requester, or PKZIP
- caused problem.) This switch can only be used with
- PKZIP v2.04g.
-
- . Added preliminary support for compression program version
- number tracking. Future versions of ZIP'R Professional
- may support compression program features that might not
- be available in previous versions of the compression
- program.
-
- . Corrected an alignment problem on the FileCount indicator.
-
- . Added a FileCount / Twirling Bar indicator to the AFSC
- Level 4 screen to display the progress of the file size
- scanning. (Due to the high scanning speed, this feature
- will be useful only on compressed files with an extremely
- high number of files.)
-
-
- 01-01-94 ■ Version 1.17
-
- . Corrected a problem where .SXT signal files were not
- being deleted when the /CLEANUP switch was used.
-
- . Corrected a possible ambiguity in the ExecDOS error
- messages. (#-5 changed to # -5.)
-
- . Updated the AFSC routines to use integer division, which
- eliminates the extra rounding step needed for reals.
-
- . Corrected a problem in the AFSC Level 4 (ZIP) calculation
- procedure that would cause erroneous calculations. (The
- file size returned would always be 0.)
-
-
- 12-27-93 ■ Version 1.16
-
- . Fixed a problem where an extra hyphen was being prepended
- to the compression command line.
-
- . Added CompressionOptions support to the ARJ and LHA
- compression procedures. (LHA does not currently support
- this feature.)
-
- . Fixed a problem where the CompressionOptions field in the
- .ZPD file was not being passed to PKZIP.
-
- . Fixed a minor problem where ".ZIP" was hard-coded onto the
- Query For Compression screen. If ARJ or LHA was being used,
- the screen would still say that the resulting compressed file
- would have a .ZIP extension.
-
- . Added an additional check for PKZIP.EXE before decompressing
- a .ZIP file when using Selective Extraction or Selective
- Exclusion. This is important, because when these options are
- enabled, the program MUST be re-compressed to preserve all
- data files.
-
- . Fixed a potential problem where the existence of PKZIP.EXE
- was not being verified before deleting files from the
- original .ZIP file.
-
- . Fixed a potential problem where ZIP'R Professional was not
- verifying the existence of PKUNZIP.EXE and PKZIP.EXE before
- attempting to create the temporary file lists.
-
- . Added an additional check to attempt to locate the selected
- compressor on the DOS PATH. ZIP'R Professional will use the
- path specified in the ZIPRPRO.INI file if the program exists.
- If the program cannot be found, the ZIPRPRO directory is
- searched. If this search fails, the DOS PATH is searched.
-
-
- 12-25-93 ■ Version 1.15
-
- . Cleaned up some internal routines related to cleaning up
- signal files before exiting ZIP'R Professional.
-
- . Changed the .ZPD and .INI file read routines to reduce
- overhead and increase speed.
-
-
- 12-22-93 ■ Version 1.14
-
- . Added error reporting to the error trapping sections of
- the IN Command, Program, and OUT Command routines. If an
- error is detected in any of these routines, ZIP'R Pro will
- report the error and query the user whether to continue.
- The error reporting routines will also report whether the
- error was generated by the command processor (Error Code)
- or by the IN Command, OUT Command, or Program (Exit Code).
-
- . Corrected a problem in the Accurate File Size Calculation
- routines where the selective extraction and exclusion
- entries were still being used, even if the file was being
- decompressed from a floppy disk.
-
- . Fixed a major problem where data loss could occur if the
- compressed file was stored on a floppy diskette, and
- selective extraction or selective exclusion was enabled.
- This is a rather rare combination of options, but since
- data loss is likely, it is prudent to upgrade previous
- versions of ZIP'R Professional For DOS.
-
- . Corrected a problem where the cursor would disappear
- following some query screens.
-
- . Added /CLEANUP option to erase all signal files from the
- ZIPRPRO sub-directory. This option should be used with
- care to ensure that no other processes are using ZIP'R
- Professional.
-
-
- 12-20-93 ■ Version 1.13
-
- . Corrected a problem where a program that is executed
- using a batch file, that also used a TSR container file
- would not return control to ZIP'R Professional for
- re-compression. The solution was to "CALL" the batch
- file from the TSR container file.
-
- . Corrected a problem where the Decompression Signal File
- might not get deleted under some error situations.
-
- . Completed the transfer of code to common units to allow
- code sharing between different components of the ZIP'R
- Professional series of programs.
-
- . Added conditional defines to allow code sharing between
- ZIP'R Professional For DOS and the ZProcessor component
- of ZIP'R Professional For Windows.
-
- . Isolated a problem creating sub-directories under OS/2
- to the use of "Global" network sessions. The Novell
- OS/2 requestor handles directory creation differently
- under global or private network sessions. ZIP'R Pro
- should be used in a private session if sub-directories
- must be re-created.
-
- . Checked into a potential problem with AFSC Level 4 if
- the lines were too long, and wrapped on the screen.
- The function used to handle the string to long integer
- conversion correctly handles this situation, and ignores
- any strings that it can't convert. No action necessary.
-
-
- 12-05-93 ■ Version 1.12
-
- . Added error checking to make sure that compression
- cannot occur to floppy drives unless the compression
- program being used is PKZIP. (Other compression
- programs do not currently support spanning floppies.)
-
- . Changed the way ZIP'R Professional deals with the
- attributes of a compressed file that resides on a
- floppy diskette. The attributes of these files
- will not be changed, since we do not know which
- diskette is in the drive, and multiple diskettes
- may be required to store the compressed file.
-
- . Fixed a problem with floppy compression where the
- query for compression floppy diskette was occurring
- too late. This caused programs to be compressed
- to floppy diskettes properly, but they could not be
- decompressed. (After further checking, the programs
- could be decompressed, but the prompt for the
- decompression floppy disk was in the wrong position.
- A work-around was to simply make sure that the disk
- was in the drive.)
-
- . Added Compress/Decompress and TSR Entries indicators
- to prelog screen. Separated Net/Multi to be two
- separate indicators, and added code to detect them
- individually.
-
- . Added a program halt command following the error
- message display if the ZIPRPRO.INI file cannot be
- found.
-
- . Corrected a problem where the .ZIP file was not
- being deleted if Update mode and Compress/Decompress
- only mode were enabled.
-
- . Added code to force a total decompression if
- "Compress/Decompress Only" is enabled. This will
- prevent problems if all files are not extracted.
-
- . Corrected a problem where the .DSF file was not
- being deleted under various circumstances in the
- decompression module.
-
- . Corrected a potential problem where logging to a
- non-existent program or program parent directory
- was not calling the "Done" procedure.
-
- . Removed unnecessary ZipName pointer variable, and
- replaced with CompressedFileName pointer variable.
-
- . Corrected a problem where the .DSF (Decompression
- Signal File) was not being deleted if an error
- occurred during the CheckSpaceForDecompression
- procedure. (This problem could manifest itself
- if the compressed file was corrupt.)
-
-
- 11-26-93 ■ Version 1.11
-
- . Added error message if Selective Exclusion is enabled,
- but no file specifications have been entered.
-
- . Corrected problems where three delete routines were
- not marking the compressed file with normal attributes,
- generating a run-time error. (Code 5, File Access
- Denied) This error would occur when query mode was
- enabled, and the program was not re-compressed.
-
- . Updated random filename generator code in the DECOMP
- procedure to use the new method for generating
- random filename prefixes.
-
- . Added "Selective Exclusion" feature to complement
- Selective Extraction. Selective Exclusion allows
- certain files or groups of files to be excluded
- from extraction.
-
- . Changed the prelog screen to display the number of
- Selective Extraction files (entries) and the number
- of simultaneous ZIPRPRO licenses.
-
-
- 11-21-93 ■ Version 1.10
-
- . Changed the logic in the prelog screen to highlight
- Query Option if Selective Extraction is enabled, but
- the compression type is not ZIP.
-
- . Changed the countdown code on the prelog screen to
- count to 0.
-
- . Added code to mark the compressed file as ReadOnly
- during ZIPRPRO operations. This should help to
- reduce the chances of accidently deleting the original
- compressed file during update mode (inconvenience) or
- during selective extraction (potential disaster).
-
- . Added code to mark all signal and temporary files
- ReadOnly, to prevent other processes from erasing them.
- Also added code to mark files as normal before attempting
- to delete them.
-
- . Corrected a problem where the atomic lock files were
- not being closed properly after creation.
-
- . Re-worked the token and temporary file creation and
- detection routines to use variable names and file
- extensions that fit their function.
-
- . Moved the code to generate a random filename prefix
- to a separate, common procedure, reducing the
- complexity of the routines that require these names.
-
- . Added error message codes to trap the condition if
- more than one users attempts to access a compressed
- file when Selective Extraction is turned on.
-
- . Fixed a problem where the .TK1 file was being created
- on programs that did not need to be decompressed, and
- the .TK1 file was not being deleted.
-
- . Moved .TK1 and .TK2 file detection and creation to a
- common area of the DecompressZipFile procedure.
-
- . Changed the signal file checking order to accomodate
- the new Selective Extraction .SXT file.
-
- . Fixed a problem where the Selective Extraction .SXT
- signal file was being created in error. (A non-atomic
- file was being created.)
-
- . Added code to limit access to the compressed file if
- selective extraction is being used by any user.
-
- . Added error message code to trap the condition if
- Selective Extraction is turned on, but no files are
- entered for extraction.
-
- . Corrected a problem where the procedure to calculate
- the space required to decompress the compressed file
- was being executed when the compression type was NONE,
- and no compressed file existed.
-
- . Checked out a potential problem with PKUNZIP erroring
- out if files specified for extraction did not exist.
- It turns out that PKUNZIP simply ignores this type of
- error, eliminating the need to deal with it in ZIPRPRO.
-
- . Added code to disable Query mode if using Selective
- Extraction. (This is necessary to insure the integrity
- of the original compressed file, and to prevent errors
- when attempting to decompress files a second time.)
-
- . Corrected problems in the CheckSpaceForDecompression
- procedure where an EXIT was being executed before the
- selective extraction container file was generated.
-
- . Revised the code in the CalculateExactFileSize routine
- to base its calculations on the list of files to be
- extracted, if Selective Extraction is enabled.
-
- . Added the more rigid compressed file type checking to
- the internal CalculateExactFileSize, DecompressZipFile,
- and CheckSpaceForDecompression procedures.
-
- . Eliminated the automatic detection of compressed file
- archive types. Now, the type of compressed file must
- match the compression type specified in the .ZPD file.
- (If users wish to change compression types, they must
- use a compression type of "NONE" for one pass. Then,
- the file may be re-compressed with the new compressor.)
-
- . Added fail-safe code to the prelog screen procedure
- that will show grayed-out check marks if any options
- have been disabled by ZIP'R Professional.
-
- . Updated prelog screen to show the status of the new
- "Selective Extraction" option.
-
- . Added support for "Selective Extraction" when using
- PKZIP/PKUNZIP.
