- Description:
-
- !KleinFS R provides a read-only filer for squashed files:
- * Simple access to standard Risc OS 3 squash files
- * Low memory consumption
-
- KleinFS is a program which allows you to fit more and larger files onto
- your discs. Whatever the type of disc you are using, be it an IDE hard disc
- or a 3.5" floppy disc, if your computer can read the disc, KFS can use it.
-
- KleinFS acts as a complete filing system, like the Acorn ADFS or the RAM
- disc. This allows it to take your files and squash them while they are
- being saved to disc, and also to expand them to their original form when
- they are loaded into memory. As such, squashed files can be used in the
- Desktop in exactly the same way as you would normal files, for example by
- dragging them into Edit or Draw, or between directory displays.
-
- KleinFS reads and produces files which are fully compatible with Acorn's
- standard Squash application, supplied on the Risc OS 3 Applications disc.
- In this way, KleinFS can be read by anyone who has Risc Os 3, unlike
- other systems which explicitly require the application itself.
-
- This read-only version of !KleinFS is freeware. The enhanced read-write
- version may be purchased from PTW Software.
