     History of changes
    


      version ACE v2.02

        + new languages (some still in work)

        + 'to'-switch for setting the time-out limit

        ! several things..


      version ACE v2.01

        + more options can be set at the archive creation dialog now

        + '-fp' switch: save full path
          '-fpd' switch: save full path with drive

        + UnAce now also uses the message file set by ACE

        + language selection within the shell
          (copies <ace-dir>\MSGFILES\*.MSG to <ace-dir>\ACE.MSG)

        $ sfxjr, sfxsr removed; added support for *.SFX files instead
          currently there are 3 commandline SFX files available
          - for OS2, Win32 and DOS
          '-sfx' switch adds the DOS SFX (supports LFN) as default;
          use '-sfx<file>' to specify a certain module

        + support for files and archives larger than 4Gb
          (up to 16 exa bytes)

        + improved compression performance
          (much better compression at same speed)

        + faster creation of file lists before archive operations

        + '-c2[d/e/p/s][-]' switch for new v2.0 compression techniques

        + v2.0 compression techniques
