·-=[ Who, what and why? ]=-·
XPKCut is little program for "cutting" fragments of files from one
big file. It may be strange for You, but it's very useful! For example
- in R.A.W. (and many others, expecialy last time) all articles and
data are packed with XPKmaster.library, and then linked in one big
file. So, in that case magazine means 2 (or 3 - with icon) files -
main code and big file with data. XPKCut scans data-file and cuts all
xpk-sub-files. This may be useful for ripping music or, for example,
articles (you may want to take some phrases from someone article and
use it in yours).
·-=[ How it works? ]=-·
XPKCut can be ran only from CLI/Shell. It wants one parameter -
file-name of "big file" (with a xpk-packed data inside 'coz). For
example: "XPKCut RAW8.data". That's all! XPKCut will read all file
into memory (You must have space for it!) and will scan. If it'll find
string "XPKF" (xpk-file identificator) than it'll write a part of
memory to file "File_nn", where "nn" is number of written file. BTW:
"File_nn"s will created in ACTUAL catalog! Remember about this!
Running from Workbench won't crash machine or some like that. It's
really safe, but (of course) it won't work!
·-=[ What is blabla? ]=-·
XPKCut is another program from "blabla company". What is "blabla"?
This is a polish group of polish programmers who want to write small
(an big too :^) PD/SW programs for Amiga. We are using only Kickstart
(no fuckin' hardware-coding!) and C (like in this case), E or
assembler. If You thing that You can help us with learn new things
about AmigaOS then write to me! Blabla it's 2 groups - "real" blabla
(let's call it "high league" :) and "sub-blabla" (for new and/or lazy
people who wants to learn more and more about AmigaOS from
"high-league"). So, if You want to join us (_ONLY_ programers!) You'll
join to "sub-blabla" first. More informations? Ask here and there :))
Blabla (with Fire) makes disk-mag called "Izviestia". In this
fanzine you can find articles about programming and new programs also
about Amiga-scene. I'm a main-editor of Izv. We searching for people
who could help us with translating texts from Polish to English.
Address - below.
