- PPLoadseg 2.1 (39.1) is based on v37.4 which was I believe the final
- version written by Nico François, back in 1991 (Six years ago!)
-
- Changes:
-
- o Many small optimisations.
-
- o Patch now uses 68020+ opcodes for slight speed increase, and a few
- bytes less memory usage
-
- o Now uses DECR_NONE, instead of DECR_POINTER. This will prevent all
- those boot-pictures that use more than 16 colours from flashing.
-
- o Made all code PC relative, making the file lots smaller (No reloc-tables)
-
- o Now uses OpenLibrary instead of OldOpenLibrary.
- (No difference, just more 90's IMHO)
-
- o Uses a global PrintTxt routine to cut down the size a little.
-
- o Caches cleared after installing patches, as there is self-modifying
- code in use.
-
- o Zero data moved to end of hunks to allow BSS areas to be used.
-
-
- Future:
-
- o I may remove the 1.3 compatability in the next few weeks. Depends how
- many of you 1.3 users want to contact me. If enough people do, then I'll
- Leave it in.
-
- o Add support for reloc32short hunks
-
- o Maybe change to use xfdmaster.library instead of powerpacker, which will
- let you pack your loadseg'd files with just about any data packer.
