The source code archives are missing, thus violating the GPL

The source code archives should be dzsrcxxx.zip, but they are nowhere to be found. Also the source code repository is nowhere to be found. In order to comply with the GPL, the source code should be available in some form.

#6 Exit confirmation issue

Hjort Nidudsson — Sun, 08 Jul 2018 19:38:36 -0000

To close a single file use Ctrl-X. To close all files use Alt-X.

Esc just exits the editor and leaves the file(s) open. To continue the edit session (from the file manager) use F9.

Exit confirmation issue

Vico Koby — Sat, 07 Jul 2018 17:32:53 -0000

Hello, I have found a strange behavior when the exit confirmation is disabled. After edit (F4 Function) a file without saving it, the warning to save the edited file is not displayed and it just appears when you exit the doszip. This happens in both, Windows (v 3.54) and DOS (v 2.55).

Steps to reproduce
1. Launch Doszip
2. Press Ctrl+F9 to open the configuration dialog
3. Go to Confirmations
4. Disable Exit Program -> OK -> OK
5. Choose some file and press F4
6. Enter some text
7. Press Scape
8. No Save file dialog is displayed
9. Press F10 to exit Doszip
10. Save file dialog is displayed

The attached video explains it better

#5 Windows port differs from DOS port for 3.50 version: F1 key for online help

Hjort Nidudsson — Fri, 13 Oct 2017 09:19:42 -0000

Hi Jenderek,

The DOS version is somewhat limited compare to the Windows version so the help file differ. If you plan on using Doszip in plain DOS it's better to download the DOS version which is currently 2.55.

However the current version is supplied as a hybrid for both DOS and Windows so I uploaded a new version (3.51) and added the doszip.txt file to the doc/dzstub.zip file.

Windows port differs from DOS port for 3.50 version: F1 key for online help

joergt — Tue, 03 Oct 2017 17:18:01 -0000

Hello,

i download latest version of doszip commander as archive dzbin350.zip. When
i run commander dz.exe inside Window online help is available by F1 key press
or "help", "help" menu and the help is shown by contents of file "dz.txt".

When i run it with DOS inside Virtualbox apparently execute dz.dos
program. But now online does not work.

So i compare it with older working version 2.52. There online help file has
name "doszip.txt". So i rename file "dz.txt" to "doszip.txt". Now help work
as expected. So a quick fix would be to store a second copy of online help
file as "doszip.txt" inside package archive, but then windows and DOS port
behaves different. So best solution would be to change program that all
ports used the same file name.

With regards
Jenderek

version not 3.50 in programs inside dzbin350.zip

joergt — Tue, 03 Oct 2017 16:43:48 -0000

Hello, when i download latest version of doszip commander as archive
dzbin350.zip and i run commander i get not version 3.50 by menu "help"
"about" menu. For dz.exe executing within Windows version is shown as 3.49
and build date 2017-06-11. When i run it with DOS inside Virtualbox
apparently execute dz.dos program. But now version is 2.54 and date is
11/05/14. This is irritating when you download newest version 3.50 and old
version number are shown.

With regards

High CPU utilization

Robert Riebisch — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 19:45:57 -0000

When run on Windows 2000 CPU utilization goes up to 100% for a few seconds whenever I press a key. When run on a DOS VM in QEMU CPU utilization goes up to 100% but never goes down again. Maybe you could change DZ's main loop?
