short description of extractdata 1st version, 10 minutes coding time:
did you ever face the problem to get crunched data from a non-dos-disk?
if yes you probably could have used COMDEC by turbo/infect. but is not
uptodate and it lacks in some crunched formats: eg. PP20, which is power-
packer-data. with PP20 you can NOT determine how long the crunched data
really is from the data itself, which is very important to depack.
here comes it up to EXTRACTDATA:
make up a big file of the non-dosk-disk using a disk/file-monitor like
FIMO. and enter:
extractdata dh0:disk1 PP20 ram:
every chunk of data from the file 'disk1' beginning with PP20 and ending
at the following PP20 will be output to a not determined number of
files in ram: PP20.001,PP20.002,PP20.003 etc.
of course there are still some uncertainties about the datasize but it
helps, besides all other crunched data than PP20 are insensible about
their filesize for decrunching purposes...
************************************************************************
WARNINGS:
the checkmark for the cruncher (e.g. PP20) must always be 4 casesenstive
letters!
you probably will get a lot of DUMMY files which is no crunched data
at all, it might just start with the checkmark, use your BRAIN!
no overwrite check on output is done!
the most important:
i have not tested the programme on PP20, yet, no joke!
dont try to run the 020-version on a lamer processor.
i take no responsability for any damages from this small piece of code.

included in the EXOTIC RIPPER later on, but not yet)
