   Changes

   o  Version 1.00 had problems with -x and -r; this has been corrected.

   o  Compression speed is, on average, double that of LZ 0.91, but can often
      more than triple LZ 0.91's performance for highly compressible files.

   o  LZ now produces output files 3-5% smaller (on average) than other .LZH
      utilities.

   o  Decompression is fractionally faster (2-3% speed increase).

   o  User configurable screen update; previously hardcoded at 1024 for
      compressing and 4096 for decompressing, this is now user configurable
      with the -U option, and defaults to 1024 bytes for both.  Thus, LZ
      defaults to updating the display four times as quickly as before,
      giving a better indication of its speed.

   o  Two MS-DOS Pkzip lookalike modes; the pre-v1.10 swivel (which is turned
      on by -D1) and the v1.10 percentage display (-D2).  There was no
      particular reason for implementing this, but it's only a couple of lines
      of code, so why not?

   o  The delete function now works properly.

   o  LZ will no longer say "** Error converting date **"; instead, it will
      set the date to something reasonable and be quiet.  This was never a bug
      in the first place; LZ 0.91 was simply informing you that the date in the
      archive was invalid (like 29-Sep-100), something Lharc never did.
      Anyway, it's gone now, since some people mistakenly thought it was bug.

   o  LZTEMP.xxxxxx files are no longer left lying around if LZ is aborted.

   o  Files are now added in alphabetical order within their respective
      directories.

   o  Fixed "file header too short" bug when decompressing files.

   o  Fixed bug which would spuriously report a corrupted file if the file
      had a large filenote.

   o  Fixed a bug involving zero length files.

   o  LZ will no longer set the task priority of the CLI to zero upon exit.

   o  Input/output buffer is now set by -b (in K) instead of by -i and -o
      (in bytes).

   o  The -N option (no console output) now automatically turns on -m (no
      message query).

   o  LZ now recognises .dms and .arj files as archives.

   o  Millions of other things changed for the better.

   o  Cosmeticisms.
