Subject: ANNOUNCEMENT: xtar-1.4 available Version 1.4 of XTar is now available - XTar is a Motif program which allows you to browse through tar archives (optionally compressed) and view and extract individual files or directories. It is available now from: hpux.csc.liv.ac.uk:/hpux/X11/Misc/xtar-1.4/xtar-1.4-ss-9.03.tar.gz hpux.ask.uni-karlsruhe.de:/hpux/X11/Misc/xtar-1.4/xtar-1.4-ss-9.03.tar.gz hpux.cict.fr:/hpux/X11/Misc/xtar-1.4/xtar-1.4-ss-9.03.tar.gz hpux.cae.wisc.edu:/hpux/X11/Misc/xtar-1.4/xtar-1.4-ss-9.03.tar.gz hpux.ced.tudelft.nl:/hpux/X11/Misc/xtar-1.4/xtar-1.4-ss-9.03.tar.gz hpux.ee.ualberta.ca:/hpux/X11/Misc/xtar-1.4/xtar-1.4-ss-9.03.tar.gz ftp.x.org:/contrib/utilities/xtar-1.4.tar.gz (Also check out the web version of xtar, wwwtar, available from the above hpux sites) Changes from 1.3.1 to 1.4 ========================= o Fixed bug which caused problems with tar files without directory indices. o Added "Convert UID/GID" to main menu - this shows the user name and group names corresponding to the user and group IDs of each file. o Common library now uses Henry Spencer's regex routines (Copyright (c) 1986 by University of Toronto), which hopefully solves portability problems. o Removed atexit() function call which also has portability problems. o Corrected slight error in Imakefile. o Used Youri N. Podchosov's rewritten num_decimal() function which means I don't have to link with the maths library anymore. o Moved the window dimensions to the app-defaults file where they belong. o Double click in the list to view the file. o Fixed a bug in file_load() which meant files were not getting closed. o Two new defines _USE_UTIMES and _USE_GETWD added for awkward NeXT. o Properly formatted man page, thanks to DaviD W. Sanderson. o Made fonts and window sizes much larger to compensate for my deteriorating eyesight. [Edit them to your liking in the app-default file]. o Added a "Save As.." option to text file viewer. Also you can edit the file and then save it out (useful?). o Compiled in multi-coloured University logo on the About... box.
