![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() WARNING: THIS IS A BETA RELEASE - WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY - ONLY USE THIS ON BACKED UP FILES!!! Note: Use this release only for testing. -- -- Lhx - 0.84.0 - BETA ============ Lhx is a file compression utility that compresses files to an AmigaOS compatible XZ/LZMA compressed archive. where all AmigaOS file system protection bits and possible comments are preserved. XZ/LZMA is the same compression method used as in the acclaimed 7-Zip. A Quick Comparison Test ----------------------- A test drawer with some text and exe files, size 4 273 588 bytes: - Unpacked: 4 273 588 B test - Lha (-lh5-) 2 929 454 B test.lha - Lha (-lh6-) 2 929 454 B test2.lha - Lhx (XZ/LZMA+lh0) 2 375 368 B test.lhx Installation ------------ Run the Install file in the package, or: 1. Copy the "Lhx" file into your "C:" drawer. 2. Optionally copy the documentation files; "Lhx.manual.doc.txt", "Lhx.readme" and "Lhx.readme.info" to presumably "SYS:Documentation/Lhx/". 3. Done. Examples -------- ; Pack/compress a file 1> lhx NEW somefile.lhx somefile ; Or shorthand works too 1> lhx -n somefile.lhx somefile ; Pack/compress a file from, and to RAM Disk: 1> lhx NEW ram:packed.lhx ram:t/usb.log ; Pack/compress a drawer and a file to RAM Disk: 1> lhx NEW ram:MyGame.lhx MyGame MyGame.info ; For extracting/unpacking the files use the EXTRACT command. 1> lhx EXTRACT packed.lhx ; Or shorthand works too 1> lhx -e packed.lhx ; For extracting/unpacking to the RAM Disk: 1> lhx EXTRACT packed.lhx ram: Changes ------- 0.84.0 beta: (2018 Apr) - With this release, Lhx is out of Alpha state, and into Beta. All serious issues (as far as I know) are resolved. - Refactored the release archive into sort of a "self extracting archive". The idea is to extract the Lhx.lhx archive with a previous version of itself. (The latest version of the executable will be extracted from the "Lhx_temp/Lhx.lhx" file into "Lhx_temp/Lhx/Lhx", with the previous version located in "Lhx_temp/C/Lhx".) - Typos fixes in documentation. 0.83.0 alpha: (2018 Feb) - Implemented so only correct type of files can be extracted, through checks of file-headers (Magic Headers), and not solely of file extensions. - Fixed a few other issues regarding filetypes/fileheaders. - When extracting, the destination dir is checked that it really is a directory and not a regular file. - Fixed its own directory for the documentation in AutoInstall. - Clarified and fixed typos in help/documentation. - Among other things. 0.82.0 alpha: (2018 Feb) - Fixed a number of bugs. - Checks that the files to be archived / extracted to actually exists. - A lot of internal refactoring. - Implemented a logger (RAM:T/Lhx.log), to help finding bugs (although not all operations are logged (yet)). - Other miscellaneous fixes and improvements. 0.81.0 alpha: (2018 Feb) - Fixed bugs/issues with files not found and old temp. files. - Corrected wrong months in Recent section, thanks MickJT. - Added Install and AutoInstall files. - Added icons for the readme, etc. - Clarified readme and help text. 0.80.0 alpha: (2018 Feb) - 7z superseded by XZ/LZMA and program renamed to Lhz (from L7z), thanks for suggestion Fredrik Wikström. XZ/LZMA is a subset of 7z (used in 7-Zip). - Miscellaneous fixes and improvements. 0.7.0 alpha: (2018 Jan) - First public release. ...//snip// (See the doc/manual for more information.)
