ANNC: NufxLib/NuLib2 v2.0 released



I'm pleased to announce the release of NufxLib/NuLib2 v2.0.  NufxLib is
an open-source (LGPL license) library of functions for manipulating NuFX
archives, such as those created by ShrinkIt for the Apple II.  NuLib2 is
an open-source (GPL license) command-line archive utility for NuFX and
Binary II.

Documentation, ANSI C source code, and some binaries are available on the
NuLib web site: http://www.nulib.com/

New features in NufxLib v2.0:

 - Can be built as a Windows DLL.
 - NufxLib no longer tries to free memory allocated by the application
   (a callback is used instead).
 - A high-ASCII text stripper is now available (useful for DOS text files
   and Merlin 8 source code).

New features in NuLib2 v2.0:

 - Filename comparisons are now case-insensitive.
 - Can be built with NufxLib in a DLL.
 - Changed handling of reserved names like "AUX" so that the original
   names are better preserved.  This creates filenames with "%00" in them,
   which could confuse older versions of NuLib2 (e.g. "nulib2 -ae %00aux"
   will not work well in v1.x).
 - Files are now added with ':' as the pathname separator, regardless of
   OS.  Win32 handling now recognizes both '/' and '\' as path separators.
 - Disk images extracted with "-ee" now have ".PO" add to their filenames.
   This should make it easier to load them in an Apple II emulator.
