-
-
- USE THEESE FILES ON YOUR OWN RISK
-
- xpk.h & xpksub.h mentioned above are those in the xpk25dev.lha archive.
-
-
- installation: simply copy the module files where they belong.
-
- copy modules/xpk.m EMODULES:
- copy modules/xpksub.m EMODULES:
- copy modules/libraries/xpk.m EMODULES:libraries
- copy modules/libraries/xpksub.m EMODULES:libraries
-
-
- The included example sub library does no compression but
- is a good example for beginners (read the docs in the xpk developer
- archive and of the E language library mode carefully).
-
- Here are some notes about the example program.
-
- - For version/revision control I have used the xpkrev program (included)
- which is a changed version of Bumpee program by Leon Woestenberg.
- xpkrev is done for use with xpk sublibraries.
-
- All the changes are listed in the source xpkrev.e.
-
- some chages are:
-
- * new options (keywords) in xpkrev
-
- BUMPINFO=INFO/S bump info structure version
- BUMPMODES=MODES/S bumps modes descriptors version
-
- * defines to build other defines (look in a _xpkrev.e file)
-
- * an sourcename none.e will get an LIB_NAME xpkNONE.library
- (source name are converted to upper case) NAME=NONE
-
- Look in an _xpkrev.e file to see what defines/constants you can use.
-
- Read bumpee.doc about all the details.
-
-
- - There are a dummy parameters in the library functions to force 'param'
- in register a0 which are required by the xpk package.
-
-
- Includes are converted to modules as follows
-
- - Removed tags/hooks definitions. Use utility/? instead.
-
- - All constants defines replaced with CONST
- with original names
-
- - All struct definitions replaced with objects
-
- - Object and field names are the same as the original
- except the two first letters that are converted to
- lower case!!
-
- example : tyedef struct XpkIOMsg {
- ULONG Type;
- ...
- } XIOMSG;
-
- converted as : OBJECT xpkIOMsg
- type:LONG -> (unsigned)
- ...
- ENDOBJECT
-
- - field type conversion :
-
- LONG <var> -> <var> :LONG
- LONG <var>[n] -> <var>[n] :ARRAY OF LONG
- ULONG <var> -> <var> :LONG -> (unsigned)
- WORD <var> -> <var> :INT
- UWORD <var> -> <var> :INT -> (unsigned)
- BYTE <var>[n] -> <var>[n] :ARRAY
- BYTE <var>[n][m] -> <var>[n*m] :ARRAY -> ...
- UBYTE <var>[n] -> <var>[n] :ARRAY -> (unsigned)
- APTR <var> -> <var> :LONG -> (APTR)
- STRPTR <var> -> <var> :PTR TO CHAR
-
- - All typedefs are removed. If you really want them, you'll have to
- #define them. Here's the list
-
- xpk.h
- #define XIOMSG xpkIOMsg
- #define XPROG xpkProgress
- #define XFIB xpkFib
- #define XPINFO xpkPackerInfo
- #define XMINFO xpkMode
- #define XPLIST xpkPackerList
- #define XFH xpkFib
-
- xpksub.h
- #define XINFO xpkInfo
- #define XPARAMS xpkSubParams
