Bugs, Possible Problems and Leftovers with QAZ v3.21a: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- o Filenames longer than 64 characters will be truncated. o Right-justifying the name-field under 16-characters when names are longer than 14-or-so characters will not truncate properly with the -fc option. o QAZ seems to have some problems with certain LAN drivers, and had to be taken offline from one BBS because of that. (In some cases, QAZ may not work because it is a compressed executable: you may use a decompress QAZ.EXE for _your_system_ if this causes a problem.) o QAZ does not show comments (with the -vc option) for HPACK, RAR or SQZ archives because the comments are compressed. (In the case of HPACK files, the comments may be GIF or JPEG graphics.) o QAZ cannot list UC2 or PackIt II or III (Macintosh .PIT) archives because the file-information is encoded. (A similar situation may go for some other file types, such as .tar.Z files.) o Some archive formats handled by QAZ are based on hacked information, and possible bugs may be lurking in strange files. If QAZ does not show information such as CRCs or file-attributes, it is for the same reason. o QAZ will not show directory paths for Macintosh formats. o QAZ will show directories as seperate file listings when a directory is stored as a file (ie., with date-time stamp, and not merely as a path). o The -fi option will not work properly if the directory attributes are messed-up (as was the case with one Zip file I found). o Since all ARJ archives are backward compatible with version 1, that is the version QAZ will report. ARJ uses internal version numbers that do not coincide with release version numbers, so some future ARJ archives may give unusual version numbers. o QAZ cannot properly determine the version number of HA archives, and so will only report 'v0' until this bug is fixed. o QAZ cannot handle UniCode or EBCDIC filenames in HPACK archives. o QAZ does not show file attributes from HPACK archives. o QAZ can only recognize Level-1 HPACK archives. o Only the primary mode attributes are shown for TAR files. The others are lost (when using -fu mode). o Attribute conversion may be inconsistent accross platforms. Unix modes of 000 ('---') are translated to 0x01 ('-----r') in DOS. o QAZ does not handle OS/2 attributes. o Some Amiga LHA files are not compatible with LHArc, and will be re- ported as damaged. o QAZ cannot recognize the security envelopes on PAK archives. Hence the -ra option will not flag this. o QAZ does not recognize the AV codes for some PKZip v1.xx archives. This will be the case pending more information. o QAZ does not adjust for time-zones in Zoo archives. o QAZ does not adjust time-zones for daylight savings time. o QAZ may not recognize some self-extracting archives (including special installation SFX for UC2); Nor does QAZ flag Macintosh self-extractors (.SEA) as self-extracting (with -ra option) o Even when using the -mt option, QAZ will flag BinHex'd archives (.CPT, .SIT, etc.) as being BinHex files. This is intentional, actually. o BinHex'd PackIt archives (.HQX.PIT) are not listed. o Macintosh file-sizes are shown as the sum of both fork sizes. There is no option to differentiate between them in the present version of QAZ. o QAZ does not display a Host-OS for archive formats that do not diff- erentiate operating systems (ie., ARC, SIT, LHA, etc.). I have no documentation for the Host-OS in LIM or CoDec Archives.
