STZIP version 0.8 beta
----------------------
STzip is an archiver that process .ZIP file, as does PKzip on IBM PC.
It can extract and add files, is fast and use gem.
STzip isn't yet finished but after having worked on it for nearly two years,
I decided to release something before I get fed up with it !
English manual, comments support, delete file in a zipfile and display
a compressed file in a window will be added in the next version.
Please note that it is a beta version, which is a nice way to say that
there are still some bugs, please report them.
The documentation is still in french but the strings in the program are
in english and there is an english version of the resource file : just
rename ZIPENG.RSC to ZIPGEM.RSC.
You can use stzip from a shell or a program with a command line (type
stzip -? to get some help), or within its built in gem shell (just
start stzip.prg), with an english resource file. You can also install a
gem application on the desktop with extension .ZIP, stzip will open a
zipfile when you double clic on it.
This is postcardware, if you use it please send a nice postcard to

What's new ?
------------
Version 0.8 9 May 91
--------------------------
Fixed compatibility problem with PKZip/Implode, doesn't compress better
than PKZip anymore :-(
You can use the old incompatible compression algorithm with the -ej
switch. It is strongly suggested not to use it unless you are sure
nobody will extract the file on a PC.
Hope to increase compression ratio in next release.
Version 0.7 21 Apr 91
--------------------------
Big text files couldn't implode without bombing, fixed.
Version 0.6 4 Apr 91
--------------------------
Imploding is now the default algorithm, and detects text files to use
better parameters. Added drive buttons.
Version 0.5 3 Apr 91
--------------------------
Added imploding, use the -ei switch to select it in command line, or go in
the configuration box in gem.
Version 0.4 29 Dec 90
--------------------------
Compiler change, stzip.prg is 22k smaller. Added disk format.
[sleeping]
Version 0.3 1 Jun 90
-------------------------
Bugs changed, Comments. -z (set zipcomment) and -t (set zipfile date)
switchs added.
Version 0.2 30 April 90
-------------------------
Shrinking is nearly 65% faster.
Many bugs removed. No more limitation in the number of files added.
Added a -e switch to select the compression method (currently, only -es
(store only) is useful), and a -p switch to store paths when not
recursing into subdirs.
Version 0.1 5 April 90
-------------------------
First beta release. |
