Short: XPK file (un)packer with complete GUI, ARexx port & more
Author: Eric Sauvageau @ Fido 1:242/907.0, dream@step.polymtl.ca
Uploader: vedovatt@u.washington.edu
Type: util/pack
XPKatana 1.0 is a new GUI/ARexx interface provied to XPK users. It
features:
o Complete resizable and font adaptive GUI (no need for any external
library!)
o Can pack and unpack files using any XPK sub-library installed on your
system.
o AppIcon, allowing drag'n'drop usage.
o Features a special "Test Mode", allow 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 an optional
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.
AmigaDOS 2.04 and up is required, and you also need to have
xpkmaster.library installed, with at least one sub-packer library (XPK
is NOT included - look for the xpk25usr.lha archive).
XPKatana is Shareware: a fee of 15$ US is required if you're regularly
using this program and you like it - altough it ain't crippled in any way
(I hate crippleware...)
Included Amigaguide documentation is in English and in French.
