- XPK is a compression library caller interface standard (phew!). It separates
- the job of packing data from the application program, so any application
- program with XPK interface can use any packer with XPK interface.
-
- As for stacker, yes, there are two Xpk-Filesystems in the distribution,
- which come close to stacker in what they do IMHO.
-
- You can get XPK from AmiNet in pub/aminet/util/pack/xpk25*
