- This archive contains two AmosPro programs that will shrink, squash,
- squeeze, and squish your files and banks into extremely small compressed
- files, in two very different ways:
-
- BobSquasher.Amos
- This program compresses bobs just like Squash-A-Bob, but is much
- improved over its predecesor. It features:
-
- * Auto Compression of all bobs in Bank 1 (when used as an
- Accessory)
- * Storage of the palette in the compressed file...no more "noting
- the colors of the bobs"...
- * Speed. The decompressor can unpack 55 bobs in about three
- seconds.
-
- XPKPack.Amos (requires util/pack/XPK25USR.LHA and Easylife (kind of!))
- This program uses XPK, the standard for eXternal PacKing. It is a
- great improvement over the XPK commands in Easylife (which thrashed
- memory upon loading...sorry, Paul!), and includes a great GUI to
- pack files just for storage and procedures to pack banks for
- loading directly into programs. It also:
-
- * Lists all of the available packers and their different modes
- * Runs as an Accessory
- * Has a great non-Interface GUI
- * Accesses XPK cleanly and efficently
-
- Both programs are FREEWARE...use them, examine them, learn from them,
- improve on them, yakety schmakety...
-
- Enjoy!
