Short: Pipeable PowerPacker Decruncher
PPDecrunch Version 1.0 (July 22, 1991)
Pipeable PowerPacker Decruncher
Copyright (C) 1991 by Darren Ewaniuk
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description:
PPDecrunch allows you to decrunch PowerPacked data files to STDOUT. What
does that mean, you say? Why not use the plain old Decrunch program provided
with PowerPacker? Well, by sending output to STDOUT, PPDecrunch can allow
you to view PowerPacked files with SOME programs that otherwise cannot
decrunch PowerPacked files by themselves. These programs MUST be able to
accept input from STDIN. For example, LESS and MORE are capable of doing
this. This comes in especially handy for remote shells and BBS'es, as most
text readers except MORE open their own window, therefore they cannot display
on the remote screen.
