CAB Extractor

2004-03-08 Stuart Caie <kyzer@4u.net> * all: tidy-ups for 1.0 release 2003-09-04 Stuart Caie <kyzer@4u.net> * set_date_and_perm(): implemented the utimes() alternative to utime(). * set_date_and_perm(): sets the date before the permissions are set, in case read-only files really do get -r--r--r-- permissions and your dumb OS won't let the date can't be changed. 2003-08-14 Stuart Caie <kyzer@4u.net> * wince_cab_format.html: Shaun Jackman worked out six more fields in the header. 2003-08-12 Stuart Caie <kyzer@4u.net> * cabextract.c: rewrote all function documentation in javadoc / doxygen format. * configure.ac: added AC_FUNC_ALLOCA / @ALLOCA@ / alloca.c because I noticed that fnmatch.c uses alloca(). 2003-08-11 Stuart Caie <kyzer@4u.net> * main(): Removed the redundant args.list with args.view. I was wondering why cabextract -l file.cab was trying to extract instead of list... 2003-08-06 Stuart Caie <kyzer@4u.net> * configure.in, Makefile.am: rewrote the configure and build scripts, in the new style. fnmatch sources are now bundled, and now all the support code and tools are in the top directory, leaving src/ with nothing but cabextract code in it. 2003-08-05 Stuart Caie <kyzer@4u.net> * wince_cab_format.html: converted the WinCE CAB format document from text to HTML. 2003-07-29 Stuart Caie <kyzer@4u.net> * cabextract.c: now rewritten to use libmspack. * process_cabinet(): the cabinet listing now has space for 10 digits in the size field, for those really big compressed files. The maximum size of a file is 4294967295 bytes. 2003-07-18 Stuart Caie <kyzer@4u.net> * cabextract.c: started refactoring cabextract to use the libmspack library. Moved everything out of cabextract.c and will start moving things back in as necessary. * doc, mspack: added a doc directory, where fun things like manual pages, magic files and file format documents go. Made a directory for libmspack files. 2003-06-07 Stuart Caie <kyzer@4u.net> * mspack: started creation of the libmspack library, based on the cabextract code. See http://www.kyz.uklinux.net/libmspack/ for more details about the library. 2003-05-14 Stuart Caie <kyzer@4u.net> * magic.cabinet: fixed errors in CAB magic definition * magic.wince: added magic file entry for WinCE install format * configure.in: added large file support 2003-04-21 Stuart Caie <kyzer@4u.net> * ja/cabextract.1: Katsumi Saito kindly translated the updated manual page into Japanese for me. 2003-04-20 Stuart Caie <kyzer@4u.net> * cabextract.1: finally decided on feature set for cabextract 0.7, so I updated the manual to reflect that. 2003-03-12 Stuart Caie <kyzer@4u.net> * wince_cab_format.txt: reverse engineered most of the file format for Windows CE installation CAB header files. Windows CE uses normal cabinet files, but the files inside the cabinets use short filenames and a special binary header to specify full filenames, install directories, registry entries and symbolic links. If anyone wants to help fill in the remaining fields, I'm all ears.
