- P U P i t - PowerUnPack it!
-
- PowerPacker.library for use by Blitz Basic 2
- --------------------------------------------
-
- At last!
-
- You can now read PowerPacked files from Blitz,using this library
- (it's just powerpacker.library's .FD file converted by FDConvert) !
-
- Installation
- ------------
-
- Obviously,you'll need the proper powerpacker.library installed
- on your system.Most people will already have it,but if not,get
- it from Aminet - (util/libs/pplib16.lha) - or you'll find it on many
- coverdisks/CDs.There's also an '020 enhanced version available,
- but I've forgotten the archive name (it uses exactly the same library
- calls,though).
-
- Anyway,copy the supplied powerpacker.library1 into your
- Blitzlibs:amigalibs/ drawer,and remake your deflibs file.
-
- * * * * * * * * W A R N I N G * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
- ALWAYS make a backup copy of Deflibs before remaking it!
- * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
-
- If you don't know how to remake Deflibs,just load the file
- Blitzlibs:makedeflibs.bb2 and "Compile & Run" it.
-
- That should be it...
-
- Usage
- -----
-
- At the moment,I've just set up one PowerPacker command (ppLoadData_)
- as a function - Pup {infile$,outfile$} ,but if you know what you're doing,
- you'll be able to use the other commands available,listed in powerpacker's
- autodocs (part of the pplib16.lha archive).
-
- The use of the function is detailed in PUP.bb2 (or PUP.asc if it
- won't tokenise for you).

- This archive was created by James L Boyd.
-
- Thanks to David McMinn for the clue as to what I was doing wrong!
-
- I'll also thank Nico Franτois for powerpacker.library,even though he's
- probably no longer an Amiga user ;)
