- so just shut up. Why rambling with totally uninformed postings ?
-
- just three points:
- 1) imploder mutitasks, i.e it decompresses and read the file at the same time.
- very neat and efficient (and unheard of on any other machine), but it only
- works on executables.
- 2) there is an OS patch (PPfix or PPlib) which allow transparent decompression
- of any file compressed with powerpacker, giving you half that you want
- 3) for transparent read/write (de)compression look at XPK.
