MEGASTORE 1.1
(c) DMC - 10/94
Introduction :
--------------
MegaStore 1.1 is a program that compresses and uncompresses files. It
is using the algorithm developed by Huffman. It gives very good results on
text files (generally, less than 50%). .WVE files are not much reduced
because they are already compressed (between 70% and 85%).
Installing MEGASTORE:
---------------------
Copy MEGASTOR.APP either on your internal disk or on an SSD. Install it
by using the install menu or Psion-I.
Using MEGASTORE :
-----------------
MegaStore 1.1 takes a huge amount of RAM space (95K). This is due to
the fact that big structures (arrays, buffers and trees) are used.
In the menu File, you can either choose to compress or uncompress fils.
A file selector comes and asks you to choose a source file and a destination
file. They can both be on a remote drive. Once the file is compressed, a box
displays the source size and the destination file, and a percentage which
corresponds to the size remaining of the source file.
When you uncompress, a box displays the size of the file restored.
Registering MEGASTORE :
-----------------------
If you like this program and you wish to use it, you can register for
it by sending 10 or 75 French Francs to :

FRANCE
Version 1.1 Improvements :
--------------------------
In this new version, the name of the original file is saved in the
compressed file so that the user doesn't have to reenter the whole name of
the uncompressed file when unpacking.
A new menu called Convert will convert all files compressed with
MEGASTORE 1.0 to the same file utilisable by this new version. You will be
asked for the name of the original file (i.e. the one which has been compres-
-sed).
A new directory M:\MST\ is created. All compressed files have
extension .MST by default and are store in this directory.
