1. Introduction
This program has been designed to allow you to use The Disk Masher from
Paradox. It allows you to crunch an entire disk onto one file that can be
stored easyly on harddrive or floppy. It is used to store files on
coverdisks such as the one`s on CU Amiga of Amiga Format.
2. How it works
The disks stores it data in bytes. All that the disk masher does is, for
example some bytes are 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 or 3378 it would give
this sequence a code such as e5 and and shorting it by half.

menu with 4 buttons. Pack, Unpack, Copyright Warning and Quit. Click on the
Pack icon. You be asked to put the disk you wish to pack into DF0:. Do this
and hit any key. Now you will be asked if you wish to put a encryption on
the disk. This, if you want to will put a code on the file so that it cannot
be open without the password. If you type Y and press return you will be
asked to type the password you wish to put on the disk. Do this and press
return. You will be askes top retype the code to verify what you had typed

directory you wnat to put the file and what you wish to call it. Do this and
press return, press a key and the disk in DF0: will start to get packed. The
