Preface:
--------
Leif has stopped working on the OS/2 verson of LCMD in 2007 with version 1.6.
Milestone#3. Fortunately he was so kind to release his work as Open Source under
GNU General Public License version 3. In 2010 I decided to start working on lcmd
just for fun and to fix some annoyances I found over the years. lcmd works
wonderful well and there is not much functionality I miss. So there is not a lot
to do for me ;-)
Change History:
---------------
20240416 v1.8.2
- Improve EA handling routines to reduce memory leaks and silent crashes
- Fix TRAP 000e in JFS while copying >69000 files. Hint, please use latest ArcaOS (kernel, JFS, ACPI 3.23.17, ...)
- Removed gl16os2.dll dependency (link .obj into .exe)
- Handel out of memory conditions more gracefully
- Added abtrace for logging via pmprintf.dll (if available on target system)
- Improved build cmd files to break on error (ERRORLEVEL handling)
- Tuneed lxlite options to not remove bldlevel info
- Change to David G. icon files (no clue where they are used)
- Again tuning of dynamic copy buffer size adoption (even more speed on my system :-) )
- Change icons to the ones supplied by David G. Thanks for that although it's not clear to me where they are used.
(- Disable integrated exception handlers in favor of exceptq) reverted back
- Disabled ExceptQ handler as I can't get it to work in conjunction with lcmds own handlers
20231130 v1.8.1
- Fine tuning of dynamic copy buffer size adoption
- Reduce logging while copying huge amount of files (reduces memory needs and log file size)
- Disable playing priority games in hope of better overall system response
- Fixed some cppcheck warnings (thanks Andy Willis for that)
- Add some comments for using highmem in some places (currently not used)
- Add writing to PmPrintf queue in parallel to log file when #ifdef __DEBUG_PMPRINTF__
- Use HighMem for copy buffer
- Adding ExceptQ handler (not working yet as own exception is still active) - 20240324 disabled
- lxlite .exe file and split up debug information into extra .dbg file (prepare for ExceptQ)
(( - Memory leak when copying huge amount of files (ApacheOpenOffice source code tree). Maybe only with fast target devices. )))
20230519 v1.8.0
- Rework dynamic copy buffer size adoption
20230408 v1.7.6
- increase max. copy buffer size 16MByte.
ATTENTION - older netdrive and ndpdav plugin versions may not handle > 64k-1 blocks correctly.
20160124 v1.7.5
- limit max. copy buffer size to less than 60k. Netdrive/ndpdav plugin does not handle > 64k-1 blocks correctly. Though a
fixed npdav plugin version is available.
20160116
- recompile with optimized for Petium II, Enum size 4, struct/union 4, (VAC3.65 - /qtune=pentium2 /qarch=pentium2 /Sp4 /Su4)
v1.07.02 20100810
changed:
- make files
added:
- Build level (bldlevel) information
v1.07.01 20100801
changed:
- vs_make.cmd for building from within VisualSlickEdit, added -nocprt option to
various .cmd files to bypass copyright messages

You can mail me if you have problems or when you have success (hopefully) with
this software. I will try to help you if you've specific problems with my
changes. But only if you've read the readme/help files before.
Doubtless you've found out, english is not my mother tongue. You can correct
all errors in this text by yourself if you like ;-) If you speak german
conversation would be easier. So please send your comments in german or english.
Of course you can send in any language you want, but don't expect an answere ;-)
My espanol, dutch and arab is not good enough for conversation. Danke, thanks,
gracias, Dank u wel, shokran...
Special thanks to Leif Erik Larsen for making the source code of his work
available to OS/2 - eCS users for free.
