XMASH GUI Interface for Hydra's XMASH V0.1
XMash GUI is (c) Thrasher of Nowhere in particular
XMash GUI is a interface for Xmash making it easy to use from the workbench
At the moment it basically allows you to Mash a disk, UnMash it, add the file
descriptions, banners, to test an archive and to change the track increase.
Requirments
-----------
Just Workbench 2.0 or higher.
How to install XMash GUI
------------------------
To install first make sure you have XMash from Hydra installed, with the
XMash executable in your C directory and just put XMash GUI where you
usually keep you utils that you use from the Workbench and thats it.
How to use XMASH GUI
--------------------
I haven't put all of XMash's option in XMash GUI at the moment only the
ones that are most useful but if anyone wants them all in drop me a line
and I'll see what I can do.
So on with how to use it. To make an XMS arc just put the arc name in the
'Select File' gadget, any banners, description files in the 'Banner',
'File Description' gadgets and select which Cruncher you want and click
on 'Read'. It's as simple as that.
To Unarc just select the file you want with either the file requester
gadget or type it in, select which drive you want and click on 'Write'
To add a description to an existing arc just select an XMS file, the
description file and click on 'Desc'. To add a banner same as, but click
on 'AddText'
'TrackInc' allows you to specify the number of tracks to be read before
they are crunched, the more selected the better the crunching.
'Low' and 'High' are the tracks From and To, to archive.
Version notes
-------------
V0.1 erm first release.
Bugs
----
At the moment it assumes you've installed most of the XPK libraries with
XMash as XMashGUI doesn't check but thanks to Hydra, XMash will automatically
try for another crunch library if the one you selected doesn't exist.
No more known but I'm sure there are ;-)
Future enhancements
-------------------
Maybe at some more of the options like selected tracks for trainers
and appended tracks if anyone wants them write to the below address or
leave a message to Thrasher on 9Lives or TangoLand.

Note to Hydra
-------------
Great Util m8, but I've noticed a bug, it won't recognise an XMS archive
if the extension is in lower case, I've got around that in the XMash GUI
by just putting the filename to upper case. An if you abort a Read it
leaves the destination file with a few bytes.
Also if you want you can bung XMashGUI in the XMash archive as a util for
XMash it's fine by me.
