Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I use xpk libraries for auto-(de)compression of my hd, and I wanted an easier
way of comparing them as I saw many new ones released. I couldn't find any
already released utilities which did what I wanted, so I made XPKTEST.rexx
instead. It is an arexx script which tests compression and decompression
speed of 1-many xpk libraries on 1-many files. The crunch factor is ofcourse
also included, and the output is clean and tidy (IMHO).
PS! If you have trouble with too little hd-space, buy DiskExpander today!
XPK-compression is fast, reliable, flexible, efficient etc. In other words :
everything dblspace/stacker for ms-dos never will be!
Requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The XPK package. Preferably som more (and newer) xpk-libraries.
Kickstart 3.0 (At least you have to have arexx and the cli-commands I use).
A running rexx-server.
History
~~~~~~~
V2.1: * Kilobytes per second columns included.
* Output uses self-adjusting columns.
* Bugs removed from the CreateConfig-script.
* More accurate timing : pack from disk to disk, unpack from disk to
ram.
