1.1       root        1: Bugs (real and/or imagined):
                      2: ---------------------------
                      3: 
                      4:  - Watcom C getch() broken; password echos (reported to Watcom by K.U.Rommel)
                      5:  - VMS docs out of date
                      6:  - Amiga port broken?
                      7:  - VMS unzip no longer sets permissions correctly
                      8:  - Macintosh file attributes not interpreted correctly (both unzip, zipinfo)
                      9:  - errno declaration conflicts with several compilers' definitions:  change
                     10:     logic so undeclared by default?  How many systems affected?
                     11:  - (?) add ifndef MODERN around srand, rand prototypes in crypt.c? [James
                     12:     Birdsall, 4/23]
                     13:  - pkbug error:  zipfile with incorrect csize and/or ucsize--check for end of
                     14:     compressed (csize) data in uncompression routines:
                     15:       unimplod.c:    while ((!zipeof) && ((outpos + outcnt) < ucsize)) {
                     16:       unreduce.c:    while (((outpos + outcnt) < ucsize) && (!zipeof)) {
                     17:     (James Birdsall, Mark, bottom of BUGS.long)
                     18:  - if PK signature not found, append .zip and try again without error 
                     19:     messages (Jean-loup, others, bottom of BUGS.long)
                     20:  - disk full:  a few files clear some pointer; continuing beyond "Continue?"
                     21:     prompt, regardless of answer, kills unzip--stack too small? (doesn't seem
                     22:     to matter)  Bug in MSC write() function?  Subsequent write code isn't any 
                     23:     different from -t option, so unlikely to be bug in uncompress routines...
                     24:     File descriptor bad/close() failure?  (workaround:  ^C at prompt)
                     25:  - textfile conversions on a PC system add extra CR to lines which already have
                     26:     CR/LF combo; other directions probably don't work, either (Mac/Unix/...):
                     27:     rewrite "dos2unix" and make general
                     28:  - compressed symlinks are allowed:  revise symlink code
                     29:  - fix "no errors detected" message for errors occurring *before* extract_or_
                     30:     test_files(); count errors?  differentiate between errors and warnings?
                     31: 
                     32: 
                     33: Features (possible and/or definite):
                     34: -----------------------------------
                     35: 
                     36:  - add -x "exclude following files" option to unzip and zipinfo
                     37:  - make use of FILE_IO_C and similar defines to avoid including unnecessary
                     38:     header files in various modules (unzip.h)
                     39:  - add "near" to global vars [Steve Salisbury, 4/21]
                     40:  - construct CRC table dynamically? [Jean-loup, 5/12]
                     41:  - when listing filenames, use '?' for non-printables? [Thomas Wolff, 6/1]
                     42:  - modify to decompress input stream if part of a pipe, but continue using
                     43:     central directory if not (BIG job!)--extended local header capability
                     44:  - need zipinfo target(s) in makefile.dos
                     45:  - build in capability to check text/binary type and warn if -a (if version
                     46:     < 1.1 and not made on DOS--i.e., not early Info-ZIP versions)
                     47:  - allow wildcards in zipfile name (loop through each one)
                     48:  - test/incorporate Martin Schulz optimization patch (still useful?)
                     49:  - add -oo option (overwrite and override):  no user queries (if bad password,
                     50:     skip file; if disk full, take default action; if VMS special on non-VMS,
                     51:     unpack anyway; etc.)
                     52:  - add -Q[Q[Q]] option (quiet mode on comments, cautions, warnings and errors):
                     53:     forget -oo, or make synonym?  Default level -Q?
                     54:  - incorporate Atari patches
                     55:  - rewrite mapname()
                     56:  - modify set_file_time routines to share common code (macro?)
                     57:  - add zipinfo "in-depth" option? (check local vs. central filenames, etc.)
                     58:  - create zipcat program to concatenate zipfiles
                     59:  - create zipfix program to rebuild/salvage damaged zipfiles
                     60:  - assembly-language routines?
                     61:  - add -i (ignore case for internal filename match) option?  (maybe not)
                     62:  - CP/M version (Jeffery Foy)
                     63:  - VM/CMS version (Chua Kong Sian, others)
                     64:  - put man pages in more "proper" nroff format
                     65:  - add OS/2 .INF format helpfiles for UnZip and ZipInfo
                     66:
