  6. XPKGuide is an AmigaGuide viewer which can view AmigaGuide files which have
  7. been crunched using the following crunchers:
  8.  
  9.     P-Compress        You don't need any additional library
  10.                 files to be able to view files crunched
  11.                 using this method.
  12.     CrunchMania        To view CrunchMania files, you need to
  13.                 have the CrM.library installed.
  14.     lh.library        (I mean that it supports files crunched
  15.                 using LhEncode which was supplied with
  16.                 the package on Fish Disk 436). Obviously
  17.                 you need the lh.library installed to use
  18.                 this (supplied).
  19.     PowerPacker        To view files crunched using PowerPacker,
  20.                 you need to have powerpacker.library V35
  21.                 or higher installed (supplied).
  22.     Any XPK sublibrary    To view files crunched using XPK, you
  23.                 must have both xpkmaster.library (supplied)
  24.                 and the appropriate compressor library
  25.                 installed.
  26.  
  27. XPKGuide also uses the xfdmaster.library to decrunch files if it is
  28. available which means that whenever the xfdmaster.library is updated to
  29. support more crunchers then XPKGuide will automatically support them
  30. as well.
  31.  
  32. XPKGuide is now localised as well, extra catalogs welcome.
  33.  
  34. I have also written another program called Cruncher which is designed to
  35. complement XPKGuide, it is capable of crunching files using a number of
  36. different crunchers including all of the above crunchers. I have also
  37. written another program called AppDecrunch which can decrunch any files
  38. which have been crunched by the above crunchers.
