- Turbo Imploder 3.1 - Peter Struijk and Albert J. Brouwer formerly Discovery (c)
- compacts executable code. Highly efficent and super fast! Even plays music
- while U wait!
- -----
- The Imploder allows you to reduce the size of executable files while letting
- them retain full functionality. There are other "crunchers" or "packers"
- available for the Amiga, but none are as mindful of the complexities of your
- Amiga system as the Imploder. In addition to this, its algorithms are more
- efficient, both in terms of speed, and size reduction.
-
- Basic operation is clicking and using pull-down menus. If you can't figure
- it out, you're not likely to be in need of using the Imploder anyway.
-
- Though operating the Imploder isn't hard, the complexities of the Amiga
- give rise to the need for imploding different types of executable files in
- a number of different ways. This, and how to modify the various settings in
- order to effectuate proper behaviour is explained below.
-
- Please note that not reading the manual won't inhibit you from using the
- Imploder; it automatically detects, and reacts to almost all exceptions,
- and for the vast majority files it suffices to just hit the "Proceed" gadget
- after loading has finished. However, if you want to make optimal use of the
- Imploder's capabilties, you should consult the section below.
- Also in this manual are datailed descriptions of the "explode.library" and
- the "FInf" utility. Enjoy.

- Note: if you've been using PowerPacker.. check out the Imploder.
- You'll be amazed at what this thing can do. Be sure to read the rest
- of the .doc file as although Impoder is insanely easy to use it has
- some features which won't be immediately obvious.
