- New Features in v4.0.46
- This is a major upgrade. It now includes the ability to read and write
- non-trackdisk devices like RAD: and FMS:
-
- What is TransADF?
- TransADF creates Amiga Disk Files (ADFs), a 880kb file copy of
- an Amiga floppy disk. It can also be used to transfer ADFs back
- to a real disk.
-
- TransADF offerers several modes of operation. It can create both
- PKZip and GZip compression formats directly from the disk, with only
- a small portion in memory at one time. It can also decompress both
- formats, again directly to disk with little memory use. TransADF has
- sophisticated PKZip support, allowing operation on any file within
- the archive (not just the first item, like GUnZip), as well as adding
- an ADF to an already existing archive.
-
- TransADF uses the Z Library to perform the compression and decompression.
- For more info on ZLib, visit http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/zlib/
- ZLib was written by the same people who brought us GZip and Info-Zip,
- they being Jean-loup Gailly and Mark Adler.
-
- TransADf comes in three 'flavours':
-
- TransADF (46k): Fully featured, staticly linked with the ZLib.
- TransADF-RT (19k): Also fully featured, but uses the runtime
- "z.library", available on Aminet in
- util/libs/zlib.lha.
- TransADF-Lite (8k): This version offers no compression or
- decompression, hence the smaller size. Only
- ADFs can be read or created with this version.
-
- All three versions are compiled from the same sources, which are
- included. TransADF was written with the aid of DICE 3.15.
-
- This is the second release of TransADF, and the usual applies so send
- bug or incompatibility reports to me at by e-mail address above.
-
- Oh, and by the way, TransADF is FreeWare as defined by the GNU General
- Public License.
-
-
- A note about ADFs
- An ADF has a variety of uses. It can be used with floppy disk
- emulators such as the FMS device, which enables a file to be
- mounted as a drive. Also, ADFs are used by the Amiga emulators
- UAE and Fellow (Amiga disks can not be read by PC drives). A
- zipped ADF can offer better compression than a DMS archive, with
- the advantage that it can be unzipped by any computer with a copy
- of GZip, PKZip, or the portable Info-Zip (which is just about all of
- them, I think).
