                       Release notes for LhA V1.22

                  Copyright  1991,92 By Stefan Boberg

==========================================================================

  Sigh, I hate it when this happens. LhA V1.20 had a dangerous bug in the
compression code. It also had some other problems.

  This is the evaluation version of LhA V1.22. There are several new
things in this release compared to V1.11, and only the largest changes
will be outlined here. Please refer to the `Update.txt' file for detailed
info about the changes.

  Among the changes are:

  o The ability to list and extract/test files from multi-volume archives.
    The evaluation version of LhA cannot create or update multi-volume
    archives however. You can create multivolume archives from normal
    archives by using the programs in the `unixutil' directory. Portable
    source and Amiga executables are included.

  o You can now test, add files to and extract files from SFX archives
    created by LhASFX.

  o Compression is faster (about 10% in the evaluation version, 50% in
    the registered).

  o Several new options have been added.

  o Several important bugfixes.

  o 100% UNIX LHa compatibility.

  o Much improved command line parsing

  o Support for local and global environment variables.

  o Archiving of empty subdirectories.

  o ARP dependency removed. Under KS2.0 LhA uses dos.library functions
    only for pattern matching. Under KS1.3 LhA uses arp.library if
    present, and it's own internal functions if not. The internal
    pattern matching routines only handles `*' and `?' wildcards.
