- Hiya.
- I have a program that creates a file, chunk by chunk. (ie. In start the filesize
- is 0, and then 5k gets added each time, till it reaches 900k)
- I would really want this file to be XPK compressed. Now, I think I can done it
- as a whole (compressing the complete 900k file) but since this file gets
- created piece by piece, I think it would be better if there is a way that
- passes to the XPK packing each chunk as the chunk is ready.
- Note that I *don't* want to compress each 5k chunk seperately, I want to
- compress it as one thing, but feed the XPK packing with 5k chunks.
- Now, since I haven't done any XPK programming here is where you come in and
- share your experience. ;-)
- Code, or pseudo-code would very much be apreciated.
- Thanks,
- Alex
-
- PS: basically, I am toying making something like DMS, but with XPK. That 900k
- being the image of a disk and 5k is the track size.
