PackIt ?? (for extended usage)
PackIt v37.100 PowerPacker Data Cruncher/Decruncher
Copyright © 1993 by Michael J. Barsoom
Usage: PackIt <source> [<destination>] [Efficiency 0-4] [Buffer 0-2] [Crypt] [Executable]
With:
Efficiency: 0 = Fast, 1 = Mediocre, 2 = Good, 3 = Very Good, 4 = Best (def)
Buffer : 0 = Large (def), 1 = Medium, 2 = Small
Crypt : Encrypt file.
Executable: Crunch executables.
Hit ^C to abort crunching only.
If no destination is given source will be overwritten
The destination can either be a file or a dir. If you specify a dir as the destination,
the source file will be saved (either crunched or uncrunched) with the same name in
the destination.
If you want to crunch/decrunch a file from a different dir to the current one, you
need to specify the destination as "", this will tell PackIt that you wish to
save to the current dir rather than overwrite the source. This imitates CBM's copy
command.
