Version 1.01: March 20, 1995
============================
* The LZX "v1" command is now supported as per the documentation, and
is identical to LZX "vv" (verbose view).
* Fixed the "--" option bug with command line parsing.
* LZX now determines if a file to archive is a directory, and will
archive the contents of that; e.g. "lzx a archivename.lzx dirname".
* LZX won't complain if you try to add files to an empty archive.
* LZX won't print blank lines if adding empty dirs with the -F
(fast progress display) option.
* LZX won't display AmigaDOS requesters (e.g. lzx a test.lzx xxx:blah
won't bring up a requester for device "xxx:").
* LZX can now be aborted while it is storing files.
* LZX can now be aborted when searching through an archive if adding
files to that archive.
* The 'e' (extract) command now works.
* LZX a arcname * now works.
* Fixed a date comparison bug in the updating code.
* The -m option now causes files to be overwritten automatically.
* Fixed a bug which made LZX very slow decompressing large archives.
* Reduced memory requirements by 64K (more memory reductions are
coming).
* If the -P (task priority) option is used, LZX will now reset the
priority to its original state upon exit.
* LZX now adds a lower case ".lzx" to archive names, instead of an
upper case ".LZX".
* Performance improvements:
The 68000EC version of LZX compresses about 5% faster.
The 68020/68030 version decompresses about 8% faster.
More performance improvements are forthcoming; Tomi has been able to
tweak another 15% of speed out of the algorithm on the PC, which
should hopefully result in a comparable gain when this change is
ported to the Amiga version.
