- October 5, 1992
- -----------------
-
- - Paul Kienitz's Manx/Aztec changes implemented.
-
- - ZipInfo now correctly reports Amiga attributes.
-
- - Amiga files extracted with identical attributes made with, except
- archive bit is removed.
-
- - Unix and VMS attributes preserved: read, write, execute.
-
- - DOS and OS/2 attribute handling: preserve read-only attribute
-

- September 6, 1992
- -----------------
-
- Improvements provided by Greg Roelofs cleaned up code considerably.
- (implemented and tested by John Bush before release to Zip-Bugs)
- [oh, heck, I just pushed around Paul Wells' utime.c a little]
-
- - Greg munged the original utime() code by Paul Wells into a
- SetFileDate() clone. This eliminates unneccessary date recalculation,
- and allows file_io.c to revert back to simpler code. (one minor
- change in the AMIGA section under set_file_time_and_close().
- Paul Wells' code body is still intact, just under a new name.
-
- - The SetFileDate() call in file_io.c was changed to FileDate() to
- avoid coincidence with the ROM entrypoint when compiling for 1.3
- on a 2.x system.
-
- - Simplified LMKFile (is it simpler, or more elegant? which is which?).
- See notes in LMKFile itself for more info. A "cleanup" target added.
-
- - Created a "MakeScript" for AmigaDOS to drive the make process and
- allow one LMKFile for both 1.3 and 2.x, via Macro Overrides on
- the command line.
-
- - Archived the stat(), utime(), and other unused files into the file,
- oldfiles.zoo, since those routines are no longer called. However,
- they are preserved because they might be useful to others (Manx?).
- ZOO was used because if you need the files, you probably don't have ZIP.
-
- - Got Funzip and ZipInfo working. MINIMAL TESTING.
- [that's "FUnZip"... :-) ]

- August 31, 1992
- ---------------
-
- Changes were migrated to UnZip 5.0 (released version).
-
- New Patch: In stat.c, file type calculation was made compatible with
- AmigaDOS 2.x, using code suggested by Paul Kienitz.
-
- I attempted to build a CRYPT compatible version, but dependencies on
- TERMIO and/or ioctl.h abound. This was abandoned and will be done
- some time in the future.
-
- The LMKFiles were updated to include references to FunZip and ZipInfo.
- However, these programs have not been tested. ZipInfo does not compile,
- due to SYSV code that needs to be ifdeffed.

- August 15, 1992
