95 <li>Add support for InstallShield archives, using |
96 <li>A new <tt>--one-entry</tt> option: Normally, if an archive only |

98 to be clearer and provide more information to the user |
99 specify ahead of time what should happen.</li> |
99 immediately.</li> |
100 <li>Since version 6.0, when you extracted or listed the contents of a cpio |
100 <li><span class="pname">dtrx</span> 6.1 does a better job protecting |
101 archive, dtrx would display a warning that simply said "1234 |
101 against race conditions when extracting a single file.</li> |
102 blocks." dtrx 6.2 suppresses this message.</li> |

110 <li>dtrx is now better about cleaning up partially extracted archives when |
