It's not quite ready yet - with sleep my imagination fired up a storm making me aware of problems with the original (it is an adaptation of original Unix filename checker from before directories) and how it doesn't cope with such things as, directories (never have wildcards), directory names including extensions, filenames with multiple extensions. When I can test the problems I'll post them (and my interpretations) asking for guidance - some might disagree with me (I won't guarantee that I'm correct), I might not even thought of all the problems. I can easily write a version that works the same of the original (warts and all). ----- Original Message ----- From: Eric.Engler@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx To: delphizip@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, March 20, 2002 4:43 AM Subject: [delphizip] Re: have new match.c - much faster When you are done with your changes to match.c, please consider attaching it to a message for this list.

It is definitely much faster - A test on extracting (by name) 14228 files from a zip containing 14229 files (a rather extreme test) original took 111 minutes to calculate the size, my new one took under 5 minutes. I need to get back to test it some more, it has passed all I've thrown at it so far, but, maybe my imagination is lacking. Must leave it for the moment to get some work done. - Russell Peters
