Main features still missing for next official version: - use install in unix/Makefile instead of mkdir -p, look at install sh script. - #elif for those ports that can handle it. - what about zopen vs. fopen ? - Add zcreate or zfcreate for win32. - Assembler stuff in match.S (subexpressions) - zipping huge files (> 2G, unsigned 32bit) - Testsuite for zip and unzip (John D. Mitchell) - make a version.c or version.h that includes all the compiler names - run utils with dmalloc(). - what to do with zip -F and zip -FF (readzipfile2()) ? - profiling of the code - multi disk zip files - zipfile modification tool (Greg) - Implement -- option (Thomas Klauser, wiz@danbala.tuwien.ac.at) - don't add files with "Archive bit " or add files with "Archive bit " (uwe.becher@metronet.de) - 32 bit file attributes - generate output without having to seek at all - remove contractions from zip error messages, make them clearer (Steve) - display "[text]" for ascii files when not quiet (no -q) (Timo Salmi) - does zipnote accept names with version number? - for a WORM, zip should create temp file only when updating; new archives should be created directly. - APPNOTE.TXT specifies "4) The entries in the central directory may not necessarily be in the same order that files appear in the zipfile" but readzipfile() relies on same order. - on Mac, MPW C 3.3.1 requires #if (a || b) ["#if a || b" taken as "#if a"] - on Unix, let -S be "include non-regular files without reading from them" (as pkzip on Unix). This requires unzip support. - zip -l should do ebcdic->ascii translation on CMS and MVS - zip as subroutine (zdig/241) - accept k and M in zipsplit - store / (part of file name) as ! in OS/2 (problem only with -E ?) Known bugs: - On VMS, zip fails reading some files with "byte record too large for user's buffer". You must use the "-V" option for such files. - on MSDOS, zip386.exe does not like "zip -bc: foo ..." - on MSDOS, zip386.exe is sometimes much slower than zip.exe. This is probably a problem with DJGPP (to be investigated). - on NT with C shell, zip should not do file name expansion again. - zip zipfile ... ignores existing zipfile if name does not have an extension (except for the -A option, generally used on self-extracting files). - For an sfx file without extension, "zip -A sfx" works but "zip sfx -A" doesn't. - When storing files in a zipfile (-0), zip marks all of them as binary. - On VMS, some indexed files are not restored correctly after zip -V and unzip. (This is now known to be a problem of UnZip. The workaround for Zip 2.2 and newer is to use PK-style VMS extra fields; this is now the default. NOTE that UnZip 5.32 has been fixed [971019]!) - zip and unzip should use the same pattern matching rules, particularly on MSDOS and OS/2. On OS/2, "zip foo *.*" should also match files without extension. Partially DONE (OS/2 "*.*" matches "*".) - there should be a way to avoid updating archive members (only addition of new files allowed)
