NAME
xpk.datatype -- data type for XPK and PowerPacker compressed files.
FUNCTION
The xpk data type is used to decompress XPK and PowerPacker
compressed files. Decompressed files are then placed in "T:" logical
directory and passed again to DataTypes system via NewDTObject().
DataTypes system is then free to handle them (it will usually show
contents of a decompressed file).
METHODS
OM_NEW -- Decompress source file, place it in "T:" directory and call
OM_NEW method on that file.
OM_DISPOSE -- Delete the object and all associated temporary files.
NOTES
Since the data type just calls OM_NEW method on a decompressed file
it will work for files which were compressed several times (eg. DLTA
encoded and SHRI compressed).
BUGS
Will not work for AmigaGuideĀ® compressed files (due to a bug in
amigaguide.datatype, I suspect).
Can not handle encrypted files.
