HISTORY: ======== v1.11 20000115 Added a few parameters to the parameter files: Para.HiddenName Para.DayPos Para.DayLen Para.MonPos Para.MonLen Para.YearPos Para.YearLen Para.AmiProt Para.HideBit Para.ScrpBit Para.PureBit Para.ArchBit Para.ReadBit Para.WritBit Para.ExecBit Para.DeleBit Refer to the guide and the various parameter files to see what they mean. No longer uses the external ReformatTarList.dopus5 script, the above new parameters seem to make this redundant. I have included a recompile of GNUTar 1.11.2, the only change to it from the original is that the userid/groupid information is not included in the output. This was making the output formatting screw up, I removed it and allowed space for file sizes of 10 digits. If anyone wants optimised versions or the source, (minimal changes [2] from original), ask. v1.10 19991219 Fixed bug in parent routine. Fixed bug in ReformatTarList.dopus5 to remove ',' from entry size, causing anything after those entries to not be displayed. Enhanced ReformatTarList.dopus5 to display correct protection bits in Tar archives. New parameter in parameter files, Para.PatMatch, have a look at the Tar and LhA parameter files to get an idea what it means. v1.9 19991217 Shifted settings files to a sub-directory called: DOpus5:System/ArcHandler/ You can add comments to parameter files, just precede the line with a semi-colon, (;). Added some parameter files from Pavel Fedin, , Thanx Pavel! Included a simple script that shows you how to add support for almost any archive. The included script shows how you can reformat the output from the Tar command to a form suitable for ArcHandler. v1.8 19990219 Added OK/Cancel to Fix archive requester as requested :) If you choose Cancel the lister will revert to displaying the directory the archive is in. v1.7 19990214 Incorporates a couple more suggestions by Olaf, (I think I'll go on holiday and let him take over :) as well as adding in his ARJList program which makes the listing/displaying of ARJ archives a whole lot easier/reliable, thanx Olaf! - NOTE: The parameter files have changed slightly from previous versions. - Added a parameter file for ZOO and Shrink archives. v1.6 19990209 Fixed a bug, when you cancelled MakeDir the lister would remain busy, thanx Keith! v1.5 19990206 Subdrop from ArcHandler lister supported. - After spending the better part of a day trying to work out why doing a subdrop into a ZIP archive didn't work, it turned out the option specified in the docs for the archiver is wrong, it's not '-R' for recursive directories, it's '-r'. BL**DY programmers!! Subdrop into archives now works :^) v1.4 19990205 More bugfixes thanx Olaf ;^) - Should now handle trailing/leading spaces in filenames a bit better, (ie. it should handle them now :) - Titles should be updated correctly. - Path gadget should display correct path when in root of archive. - Parameter files updated a small bit. If anybody has any more, please email them to me and I'll stick them in the archive. - Solved the problem of filenames with leading space in name, required some thought...I think I killed some brain cells in the process ;-) v1.3 19990202 Added MakeDir command support, (ArcDir helped again), basically just a kludge at the moment, will try and fix it up a bit. - Added new parameter to parameter files: Para.FixArchive = '-F' If the archiver supports it, the script will apply the command if the archive proves to be corrupt. At the moment only ZIP has the ability to fix archives, (why is this so?). - Script has had a name change to what it was supposed to be called - MODIFY your filetypes/buttons/menus/etc v1.2 19990201 Can now drop to the Desktop, DOpus will pop up a menu asking if you want to copy or move. - Changing the script so that progress bars don't pop up on the lister, wasn't much point having them as they are only used for information messages, which are now going to appear in the title bar. - Added ScanDir and Re-read Directory to supported commands. - Added new parameter to parameter files: Para.Individual = 0|1 If the archiver or unarchiver cannot handle individual files, (eg. UnARJ can only extract whole archives), then set this to 0. Otherwise, set it to 1 if the archiver can handle individual files, eg. LhA, LZX, ZIP.... If you try to extract an individual entry using an archiver that doesn't support it then you will be asked if you want to extract the whole archive. v1.1 19990131 Now pops up a requester when a corrupt archive is opened, due to limitations with some archivers this will result in an empty lister, (eg. ZIP archives). - Requesters now open over the lister if your version of DOpus is 5.5+, (bits of script swiped from ArcDir, first of many probably :) - Added support for Read, SmartRead, AnsiRead, HexRead, Play changing the way the traps are added in the process, (ArcDir again :) v1.0 19990129 Have moved archiver command parameters to seperate files, made the script 4k shorter and easier to add new archivers. - Added a couple of bug-fixes provided by Olaf Kirstein, , thanx Olaf! - Probably ended up with a whole lot more - but progress continues - hopefully! v0.9 19990126 Released onto the WWW page on the unsuspecting public, had actually been kicking around on my hard drive for about 18 months :)
