
New self-extracting routines:                             April 23, 1989

                           NEW SFX ROUTINES:


             Note:  LHARC.MAN is included for information
                    and reference, although has not as yet
                    been upgraded to include the following
                    information.

                    Also new, a 't' option to check actual
                    program CRC against that given in the
                    index.  The zero length CRC bug fixed.
                    A new progress report for compressing
                    files.

                    This is v1.12, test version of LHarc.



1.  Small version
=================

   The reduced size must be within the size of your available momory
   size.  If you include a file with name "!" in .LZH file,

        LHARC S ARCHIVE.LZH

   will create ARCHIVE.COM file or ARCHIVE.EXE according to the size of
   the files contained.  Type:

        ARCHIVE

   to see the list of file "!" on your screen, and you will be prompted
   to continue [y/n]?


2.  Large version
=================

   You can use AUTOLARC.BAT with the command line switch /k

        LHARC s/x/kon ARCHIVE

   then you will have auto-executable file ARCHIVE.EXE.  Extension is
   always ".EXE" in this case.  The switch /x is for large(=eXtended)
   SFX.  Autoexecution takes place if an only if you type the key word
   after the filename.  In the example above;

        ARCHIVE ON

   will activate AUTOLARC.BAT.  Warning!  SFX is NOT case sensitive.

        ARCHIVE ON

   will behave exactly as the foregoing.

   When you type:

        ARCHIVE

   AUTOLARC.BAT will keep asleep, and your "archive" files will come
   out.  I am sure that this optional key word system will avoid
   hazardous use of AUTOLARC.BAT.


3.  Specify Archiving Directory
===============================

   This is possible for large SFX only.  You can get your un-archived
   files on the directly you specified, that is:

        ARCHIVE /ea:\

   then you have un-archived files on your directory "a:\".  When you
   specify /x switch, you have those path-names recorded in your
   archived file valid.  Files will be expanded on the subdirectories as
   you had specified in your compression process.  You must be careful
   because these pathnames will create subdirectories automatically.

   There are two exceptions.  When the path-names in the archive start
   from \, you will have them starting from the root directory.
   AUTOLARC.BAT will become visible on your current directory whether
   you specify /e:<directory> or not.
