- INTRODUCTION
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Did you ever face the problem to get crunched data from a non-dos-disk? If
- yes you probably could have used COMDEC by Turbo/Infect. But is not uptodate
- and it lacks in some crunched formats: eg. PP20, which is powerpacker-data.
- With PP20 you can NOT determine how long the crunched data really is from
- the data itself, which is very important to depack. Then there is
- ExtractData, a good program, but the search string is limited to 4
- characters and is not case sensitive. So I've created SplitData.
-
- Here comes it up to SplitData: make up a big file of the non-dosk-disk using
- a disk/file-monitor like FIMO. and enter in a Shell:
-
- SplitData FILE DEST KWORD
-
- FILE You must enter the name of a bigfile created, for example, with FIMO;
- this file can be also a normal file (very useful with demos).
-
- DEST Enter the path where you want the program save every chunk of data.
-
- KWORD Enter the checkmark string (like PP20 for powerpacked files). Note
- that this string may be long as you want and it's case sensitive. So
- PP20 will be different from Pp20!!
-
-
- Every chunk of data from the file 'disk1' beginning with PP20 and ending at
- the following PP20 will be output to a not determined number of files in the
- destination path as "nn.string" (e.g. 01.PP20, 02.PP20 and so on). Of course
- there are still some uncertainties about the datasize but it helps, besides
- all other crunched data than PP20 are insensible about their filesize for
- decrunching purposes...
-
-
- WARNINGS
- ~~~~~~~~
- - You probably will get a lot of DUMMY files which is no crunched data at
- all, it might just start with the checkmark, use your BRAIN!
-
- - No overwrite check on output is done!
-
- - I take no responsability for any damages from this small piece of code.
-
- - I've used for this doc some parts of the documentation of ExtracData,
- because I don't know very well english. All respect to the author of
- ExtractData (Marley of Infect?). If you find mistakes please correct them
- and send me the doc.
