XPKatana is a GUI/ARexx interface provied to XPK users. It features:
o Complete, Style Guide-compliant GUI (no need for any external library!)
o Can pack and unpack files using any XPK sub-library installed on your
system.
o Can unpack files packed with non-XPK packers, using xfdmaster.library.
o AppIcon, allowing easy "drag'n'drop" usage.
o Features a special "Test Mode", allows you to benchmark a given set
of packers on a selected file, and tell you which one gave the best
compression ratio (can also output complete results to a file).
o Make use of FileID.library (included) for file type analyzing, helping
you to decide which packer to use on a given file.
o Complete ARexx port, allowing easy interfacing with other applications,
providing them with XPK support (DOpus5 and Final Writer example
scripts are included).
o Automatic script generation - allows easy batch jobs.

XPKatana is Shareware: a fee of $10 US is required if you're regularly
using this program and you like it - although it's not crippled in any way.
Included Amigaguide documentation is in English. The French documentation
included with previous versions may be updated and released separately, and
will surely be included in the upcoming XPKatana 2.0.
