================================
For UnZip 6.0/6.1/who knows:
================================
o add multi-part zipfile handling
top of the list for 6.0!
o add new low-level, binary API; rewrite "normal" (command-line) UnZip
to use it
very soon (maybe 6.1)
o use (simple!) configure script in combination with Unix Makefile
very soon
o rewrite to use fread/fseek/etc. [eventually: test
write(bytes) vs. fwrite(words), especially on Crays/Alphas]
soon (in conjunction with multi-part handling, probably)
o incorporate new backfill version of inflate()
wait for zlib version
o check NEXTBYTE for EOF in crypt.c, funzip.c and explode.c, too
soon
o add option to force completely non-interactive operation (no queries
for overwrite/rename, password, etc.); also allow some sort of non-
interactive password provision? (file? command-line? env. variable?)
someday?
o add testing of extra fields (if have CRC)
later
o rewrite to allow use as a filter
way, way later...
o add Unix hard-link support?
way, way later...
o add option to search zipfile contents for a string and print the
results? ("zipgrep" option--e.g., unzip -g or unzip -S) (easy for
fixed strings, hard for wildcards/true regex's)
way, way later, if at all...probably use libregex
o add -y "display symlinks" option to zipinfo? various sorting options?
(-St date/time, -Sn name)?
who knows
o add "in-depth" option to zipinfo? (check local headers against
central, etc.)--make it a better debugging tool (or just create
zipfix)
who knows (zip -F, -FF already exist)
=======================================
o miscellaneous little stuff: whenever
--------------------------
- decide whether to use WinGUI "skipping" diagnostics in extract.c
- combine "y/n/A/N" query/response stuff into unified section with query
function(s) (InputFn?)
- disable ^V code in remain mapname() routines
- change DOS -f/-u stuff to use DOS API for getting filetimes, not stat()
- add (-N?) option to lose all user input and/or switch to "(*input)()"
function, replaceable by UzpAltMain() param
- add -@ option to read from stdin (zip) or from file (PKZIP)? (go32 built-in)
- add -oo option to overwrite OS/2 and DOS system and hidden files, too
- add option to compute MD5 checksum on files and/or on entire zipfile?
- change filename-matching logic so case-insensitive if case-sensitive fails?
- allow multiple dir creation with -d option? [Bob Maynard]
- use gcc -pg, gprof to do profiling on unzip

[GRR: 15 March 95 -> "early June"]
Features from old BUGS file (mostly duplicates of other entries above):
- ignore case for internal filename match on non-Unix systems, unless file-
specs enclosed in single quotes
- modify to decompress input stream if part of a pipe, but continue using
central directory if not (BIG job!)--extended local header capability
- add zipinfo option(s) to sort alphabetically, by date/time, in reverse, etc.
- when listing filenames, use '?' for non-printables? [Thomas Wolff, 92.6.1]
- add zipinfo "in-depth" option? (check local vs. central filenames, etc.)
- create zipcat program to concatenate zipfiles
- add -oo option (overwrite and override)? no user queries (if bad password,
skip file; if disk full, take default action; if VMS special on non-VMS,
unpack anyway; etc.)
- add -Q[Q[Q]] option (quiet mode on comments, cautions, warnings and errors)?
forget -oo, or make synonym? Default level -Q?
- add OS/2 .INF format helpfiles for UnZip and ZipInfo?
