xtar 1.4 ======== o Fixed bug which caused problems with tar files without directory indices. o Added "Convert UID/GID" to main menu - this shows the user name and group names corresponding to the user and group IDs of each file. o Common library now uses Henry Spencer's regex routines (Copyright (c) 1986 by University of Toronto), which hopefully solve portability problems. o Removed atexit() function call which also has portability problems. o Corrected slight error in Imakefile. o Used Youri N. Podchosov's rewritten num_decimal() function which means I don't have to link with the maths library anymore. o Moved the window dimensions to the app-defaults file where they belong. o Double click in the list to view the file. o Fixed a bug in file_load() which meant files were not getting closed. o Two new defines _USE_UTIMES and _USE_GETWD added for awkward NeXT. o Properly formatted man page, thanks to DaviD W. Sanderson. o Made fonts and window sizes much larger to compensate for my deteriorating eyesight. [Edit them to your liking in the app-default file]. o Added a "Save As.." option to text file viewer. Also you can edit the file and then save it out (useful?). o Compiled in multi-coloured University logo on the About... box. xtar 1.3.1 [Dec 12 1994] ========== o Fixed a bug which cropped when files are multiples of 512byte blocks. xtar 1.3 [Dec 5 1994] ======== o Spawn an external viewer (mosaic style) when we encounter a file ending we recognise - this enables viewing of graphics & animations inside the tar archive. (Configurable via resources). o Only root can extract files with ownership and group ID intact. o Use gzip -d to uncompress files, rather than gunzip. o Fixes to file selection box routines so that new files are filtered before the window is displayed. o More Motif1.1/X11R4 hacks. o Changes to Xbr library to give names to menu widgets. This allows the Time Stamp and Permission toggles to be set from resources. o Added a _INTEGRATE #define for use when integrating XTar into other applications - this is primarily for using the XTar proggy inside XBrowser [which is why it was originally written!]. o Configured imake to use template file XTar.tmpl o Wrote Makefiles for those without imake o No longer use strerror() which seems not to be portable xtar 1.2 [Jun 28 1994] ======== o Added option to unpack tar archive into a selected directory. o Now displays information about size of current tar archive and its size when unpacked. o User can now set time stamp, permissions, ownership and group ID on files when they have been extracted. o Ported to more platforms and Motif1.1/X11R4 compatible. o Deleted lots of obsolete code. xtar 1.1 [Jun 7 1994] ======== o First release.
