; :::: COMPRESS.CFG ::::
; This is a modified version of Squish's COMPRESS.CFG, the archiver
; configuration file. For more info on the format, please see the original.
; See also VALENCE.ORG.
; If you're already using a COMPRESS.CFG elsewhere on your system, delete
; this file, uncomment the "Compress" keyword in VALENCE.CFG and fill in the
; pathname there. But before you delete this file, please read my comments:
; You'll notice that unlike the original COMPRESS.CFG, this file has ".EXE"
; appended to the archiver program names. The EXEC shell in Valence works
; like Searchlight's Door and Protocol drivers: if the program name has a
; ".EXE" or ".COM" extension, it shells directly to the program; otherwise,
; as with batch files, it executes a "<comspec> /C progname etc.". This
; takes up more memory and loading time, so I recommend you add the proper
; extension to all program names in your COMPRESS.CFG. This will probably be
; ignored by Squish, and should be harmless in any case.
; Another modification that will speed up Valence, and should also speed up
; Squish, is the inclusion of full pathnames (e.q., "C:\SQUEEZE\PKZIP.EXE").
; Without a path, Valence will search DOS' path for the program; with a
; path, it will shell directly to it.
; If you're going to use this file, comment out or delete the entries for
; the archivers you don't have on your system, or just don't want people to
; use. You can also add new entries - see Squish's COMPRESS.CFG and
; documentation for details.
; Valence stores each user's chosen archiver in the user file by name - the
; part after the keyword "Archiver". Only the first ten characters of the
; name are significant.
; The "View" and "End Archiver" lines are ignored by Valence and can be
; removed if you're not going to use this file with any other program.
; Unlike Squish, Valence DOES use the "Extension" field, but only in Text
; packet mode. Please note the difference between the "Archiver" and
; "Extension" fields, even though these are frequently the same.

; I recommend you remove or modify the "PAK" entry. I've included it here
; just as it appears in the orginal COMPRESS.CFG, for the sake of
; compatibilty, but as given, it WILL NOT WORK, with either Valence or (I'm
; pretty sure) Squish. The reason is that the byte 0FEh (254 decimal), which
; according to the "Ident" field below is supposed to appear as the last
; byte of a PAK file, actually appears at different locations NEAR the end
; of the file - sometimes third from the end, sometimes second, etc. At
; least, that's what I found with archives produced by PAK 2.51.
; If you want to use PAK, I recommend you change the entry for "Extract"
; under "ARC" (above) to the entry below ("pak.exe e /wn %a %f"), thus
; allowing PAK to extract both ARC and PAK files, which it can do
; automatically. You could also modify the "Add" entry to let PAK archive
; the ARCs, too (that requires another option switch - see your PAK manual
; for more info), and do away with the need for PKPAK/PKUNPAK altogether.
