The ARJ SFX signature was not inserted into the ARJ SFX header, therefore no program relying on this signature (such as ARCID and ULP) cannot detect ARJ SFXs created with these versions. Versions 2.20 and 2.30+ correctly insert the signature. 1.22 - ARGH! I broke the ZIP detection routine by accident...fixed. (7/16/96) While I was in there, I added code to prevent another false positive that a user fed back to me. 1.21 - Strengthened ZIP signature detection to prevent programs with (7/13/96) imbedded signatures (such as RAR's RCVT.EXE) from causing a false positive. Upgraded Watcom C compiler to version 10.6 from 10.0b. 1.20 - Added support for BMP (bitmap) files. ARCID can detect Windows 3.x, (6/1/96) OS/2 1.x and OS/2 2.x format BMP files. Added code to the DOS version of ARCID to release time slices under OS/2, DESQview and Windows where appropriate. Adjusted the SFX detection code to properly detect InfoZIP's ZIP- compatible self-extraction module. New registration information (change of address and a new credit card registration site). 1.15 - Modified registration information and re-released. (12/17/95) 1.14 - If a small .EXE file that was not a self-extractor was being (11/4/95) identified, ARCID could take several seconds to return "unknown archiving format". Fixed. 1.13 - Added support for RAR archives, including RAR SFX archives. (10/14/95) Adjusted the file identification routine to detect more recent (but apparently not publicly released) versions of WinZIPSE. 1.12 - Adjusted the ZIP SFX detection to identify self-extractors created (4/16/95) with the new WinZipSE utility. 1.11 - Fixed a minor bug in the new startup routines, and since it will (2/4/95) probably be awhile before the next release I decided to go ahead and release it now. 1.10 - Changed compilers from Borland C++ 3.1 to Watcom C/C++ 10.0. This (1/29/95) has allowed me to produce a native 32-bit OS/2 version of ARCID, for those users who run under OS/2 version 2.0 and later. ARCID now uses a registration key file instead of the registration code branded into the executable (OS/2 won't permit a program to brand itself, at least I couldn't find a way to do it ). If you have already registered ARCID, you are entitled to a key file without re-registering ARCID. Since I now live in Swedem, the only means I have of providing new key files is via Internet, and I require that we use PGP to protect the key files in transit. Send me your public PGP key and I'll generate and encrypt a key file for you. Removed the beep that ARCID produced on error. Since this program is designed to run more or less unattended, what's the point? 1.07 - Enclosed new registration and support information. Refer to the (12/20/94) enclosed !NOTICE! file for more information. 1.06 - Added support for signature detection of JPEG/JFIF files. Use the (12/2/94) extension "JPG" on the ARCID command line to enable detection of JPEG/JFIF files in your batch files, etc. that utilize ARCID. Removed the PAK SFX detection code, as it was producing occasional false detections of normal executables. Due to the design of PAK, just 1 byte is used to identify a SFX which is simply too unreliable for production use. 1.05 - On a few systems, ARCID would appear to go out to lunch during the (2/4/94) beg screen delay. It seemed most prevalent on DESQview systems that removed the time slices from the timer's looping, and could freeze the system. Fixed by changing to a less CPU-intensive timing function. 1.04 - It appears I was overzealous in my attempts to not falsely detect an (12-4-93) ARC format archive, and was not recognizing some valid ARC archives. Fixed. 1.03 - ARCID was unable to automatically identify PKZIP 2.04? self- (5-9-93) extracting archives created with the -j switch (SFX junior). Fixed. Added a sample SLOWDRV.BAT file for use in conjunction with PCBoard version 15.0. 1.02 - The self-extracting archive detection routine could intermittently (12-22-92) fail depending on the location of the archive signature. Fixed. 1.01 - ARCID is now capable of autmatically identifying SQZ and SQZ self- (12-16-92) extracting archives. Just add "SQZ" (no quotes) to your ARCID command line extension list and trap the appropriate DOS errorlevel. The screen-clearing code has been removed for better aesthetics when called from other programs or batch files. Increased the scanning range, improving it's reliability for archive identification. 1.00 - The archive identification routine has been strengthened to reduce (9-18-92) false identifications. Salt Air (PCBoard Support BBS) has granted me an ULP support conference on their system. It is conference #42, and I will be monitoring it at least twice per week. You can get support for ARCID as well there. 0.93� and 0.94� - Initial beta test releases.
