- 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.
