- NOTES
-
-
- This is my entry to the Data Compression contest. The program compresses
-
- well but runs slowly.
-
-
- The program was developed on an Amiga 2000, then ported to a PC XT clone
-
- with MS DOS 3.3. It is written in portable standard C and compiles
-
- under Power C version 1.1.6 and Turbo C++ version 1.01. The supplied
-
- .EXE file was generated by Turbo C++.
-
-
- To generate the executable file from the source file, simply compile and
-
- link SIXPACK.C using a small memory model (I used the optimize switches
-
- -G -O -Z for Turbo C++, but these are not essential).
-
- Turbo C++: tcc -G -O -Z sixpack.c
-
- Power C: pc/e sixpack.c
-
-
- To compress a file, enter:
-
- SIXPACK inputfilename outputfilename
-
-
- To decompress a file, enter:
-
- SIXPACK inputfilename outputfilename d
-
- (the "d" means "decompress", but any argument will do)
