Changes in 2.28 - 1 Apr 2012
- fixed bug on adding (overwrite) selected files to .ZIP.

This bug will potentially destroy existing archive on updating files.
The bug was is a result of the update in version 2.24.
It includes all versions up to 2.27.

The problem is illustrated by the test done by Rugxulo above. The path-string is not cleared for the next file, and in this case the files dz.dll and dz.exe is updated.

Changes in 2.29 - 07 Apr 2012
- fixed bug in keyboard - Russian letter 224 (0xE0) discarded

Changes in 2.30 - 14 Apr 2012
- fixed bug in compress - data error in 1 byte files
- fixed bug in compress - error in cancel button (Esc)
- fixed bug in enter subdir on network
- fixed (some) bugs in Editor - Shift-F3: compile
- fixed bug in File Search (mask) - added quotes for "Long file names"
- added Multi Locations to File Search - A: C: "D:\My stuff" ..\sub
- added Location to History file

Doszip is now more or less depended on JWasm to compile correctly. In order to make a debug version TASM and MASM have been used. The latest changes use MASM syntax, so this exclude TASM, and using Watcom fastcall functions also exclude MASM.

JWasm provide line number debug info using the ?Zd switch which could be used by the Borland tools. This will be sufficient for writing/compiling using BC and TD. However, JWasm do not provide a full path in the .OBJ files produced, so source tracing will not work.

MASM produce a full pathname (drive included) in .OBJ files. TASM produce a relative path from the current directory. This is used by the debugger to load the source file in the IDE. The same thing applies to the error output used by the IDE to load the source file with line number.

A modified version of JWasm, including full path in .OBJ and output, is included in the dztools.zip file.

The output from a NT program loaded by a 16-bit application is another issue. Using JWasm directly in BC will fail in this regard, so a 16-bit loader (a fake TASM.EXE) is made for the BC IDE. This translate TASM syntax to JWasm syntax, executes JWasm and fixes the output stream.

Note: The TASM clone is currently hard-coded, assuming \JWASM\JWasm.exe.

Changes in 2.31 - 20 May 2012
- fixed bug in Edit -- eternal loop
- fixed bug in Edit -- memory leak
- fixed bug in Edit -- F6 (Toggle file)
- fixed bug in Edit -- Replace
- fixed bug on reading .INI files
- removed Document from Root directory
- added open files to History -- files reopen on entry
- added Key F7 to Edit -- Save Session
- added Key F8 to Edit -- Load Session
- added Error Message handler to Edit
- added Error Message Pipe -- Creates Error Message file
- added Key Alt-F7 to Edit -- Prev Error
- added Key Alt-F8 to Edit -- Next Error
- added Keys Alt-F1..F6+F9 to Edit -- Same as Shift-F1-F9
- added EMS to Memory dialog
- added config.bat to source code

All binary tools are now included in the source code.
JWasm is updated with full path for -coff output.

A message pipe tool is added (err.exe) for WATCOM, JWasm, and Masm output. This produce a "pipe.err" used by the editor. Usage (dz.ini):

[AltF1]
asm     = err jwasm -D__c__ -X -I%doszip%\inc -Fl -Sg -D__DZ__ -zf1
[AltF2]
asm     = err jwasm -D__l__ -X -I%doszip%\inc -Fl -Sg -D__DZ__ -zf1
[AltF3]
asm     = err ml -c -D__l__ -X -I%doszip%\inc -Fl -Sg -D__DZ__ -zf1
[AltF9]
asm     = !.exe
c       = !.exe
[ShiftF1]
asm     = err jwasm -D__c__ -DDEBUG -X -I%doszip%\inc -Fl -Sg -Zd
c       = err wcc -q -d2 -mc -s -3 -ecp -zdp -zu -j -zls -I%doszip%\inc

[ShiftF5]
asm     = err ml -c -D__l__ -DDEBUG -X -I%doszip%\inc -Fl -Sg -Zd
[ShiftF6]

[ShiftF9]

Changes in 2.32 - 22 May 2012
- missing switch -zf1 in makefile -- .ZIP functions didn't work..

Download: https://sourceforge.net/projects/doszip/files/

Changes in 2.33 - 29 May 2012
- fixed bug in Edit -- memory leak (hard error)
- fixed bug in FindFile -- file names > 260 character
- added Open Session to F9 -- if no open files
- added Continue Search if open file error (no message)
- added Continue Compress if open file error (error message)

Some small updates:
A memory block used by the editor was deleted.. and then used..

The recursive file-search functions (used in copy, compress, search++) exit if an error occurs opening a file. This will terminate the loop on trying to open an "access denied" file. The compress and search functions will now continue.

The Open Session function was only accessible in the Editor. This will now execute using F9 if no open files.

Changes in 2.35 - 27 Jul 2012
- fixed bug in Delete (selected files)
- fixed bug in Plugins -- didn't work..

It appears that 7ZDEC only decompress the archive to current directory?, so there is no point creating a plugin for this tool. The .INI settings will then be:

[Filetype]
rar=unrar x !.!
7z=7zdec x !.!

The plugin for 7ZA had some problems loading .TAR and .LZMA files, so this is now updated.
The README.TXT file from DZ7ZA235.ZIP:

Doszip plugin for 7ZA.EXE
Version 1.04 - 07/26/2012

<> Supported file types

          Read Copy Add  Move Del  View
   *.7z    x    x    x    x    x    x

<> Install

   All plugins are defined in the file DZ.INI, and it is assumed
   that the .DLL files are located in the <doszip>\DLL directory.
   A full path to another directory may be added.

   To install, simply copy the DZ7ZA.DLL file to the DLL directory.

   The plugin reads the section [7ZA] if available. You may add this
   section to change the default:

   [7ZA]
   01=7za l -y  ; Read archive
   02=7za x -y  ; F5 Copy (decompress)
   03=7za u -y  ; F5 Add  (compress)
   04=7za m -y  ; F6 Move (compress | delete)
   06=7za d -y  ; F8 Delete
   09=7za e -y  ; F3 View (copy | view | delete)

   In the section [Plugins] the <id> value (00=) is not fixed (as above).
   Use the first free number or start from [00..06].

   --<Copy and Paste this to DZ.INI>--
