- 0. First words
- --------------
- Yo! I'll write this fastly in german:
- Hallo Georg. Tja, sorry, daß ich Dein Proggy reSourced und umgeschrieben
- habe, aba es ist echte Sche..e, da gibt es ne geniale library und nur VirusZ
- kann sie benutzen. Also, ich weiss jetzt nich, ob das Teil Share/Lizenzware
- oder so ist. Ich hoffe nich, ich habe auch in der doku zu VirusZ keine
- Angaben gefunden. Mann, warum wirfst Du keine Includes oder wenigstens ein
- XLD mit 'auf den Markt'...
-
- 1.Copyright
- -----------
- This program and its documentation are nearly 100% the same like DLD from
- Georg Hörmann (I've simply rewritten this crap to use less time as possible).
- The XFDmaster.library copyright © 1994 by Georg Hörmann.
-
- 2.Disclaimer
- ------------
- This software is provided "as is". I'm in no way responsible for any
- damages or loss of data caused by this software.
-
- 3. What is XLD?
- ---------------
- XLD is the utility you were waiting for so long. It makes it possible
- to load and decrunch almost every packed file. This is especially
- useful for packers that don't have a decruncher.
-
- 4. How to use XLD?
- ------------------
- Nothing more easy than that! Copy the latest XFDmaster.library to your
- libs: drawer and everything is ready for the first attempts.
- With Kick 1.3, you have to copy arp.library to your libs drawer too.
- XLD's shell syntax is as follows:
-
- SOURCE,DEST,LIST/S
-
- SOURCE -Crunched file you want to have decrunched.
- If LIST is specified, this is the name of the directory to
- be listed (LIST uses current path if SOURCE is not specified).
- DEST -If specified, file to save decrunched data to,
- if not specified, the sourcefile will be overwritten.
- If LIST option is active, this is ignored.
- LIST -Instead of decrunching the source file, XLD prints
- a listing of the contents of the directory specified with
- SOURCE. You'll get a listing of the following format:
- filename length cruncher
- e.g. testfile 12345678 PowerPacker 3.0
-
- If you do not specify any parameters, XLD will print a short help
- page with a rough overview of functions and the current version
- of your XFDmaster.library.
- Do not run XLD from workbench, it is a shell command.
-
- There are some small improvements form DLD->XLD
- - Address crunched files will be get an comment on the decrunched file.
- In the comment you will found jump & decrunchadr...(Yo, no more use the
- brain just use DOpus or c:list...-)
- - In the Infotext U will now see the number of known crunchers too.
-
- 5. It doesn't decrunch my files!
- --------------------------------
- There can be several reasons for this (although every[!] error will be
- reported with a little message, some people will never understand it):
- a) The file is not crunched.
- b) The file is crunched with an unknown cruncher.
- c) The file is defect.
- d) You don't have enough memory to decrunch the file.
- e) You try to run XLD on Kickstart 1.3 without arp.library in LIBS:!
- f) You have not installed XFDmaster.library in your libs: drawer.
- g) etc.
-
-
- 6. Bugs?!?!
- -----------
- - encrypted files (e.g. Powerpacker) will be not decrunched. U will always
- get the error "wrong password". May it's not implemented in XFDmaster yet,
- may I must get this password 'by hand'...

-
- 1.0 -After 'kotzing' about some (really fuckin) bugs during decrunching
- absolute files with DLD and decrunch.library, I have ReSourced the
- XFDmaster.library to check out the several routines. After some
- hours work most LVO's will be 'clear' .Also the decrunch-info-
- structure will be ok (look in the include files). After
- ReSourcing DLD I've recoded DLD in one hour to XLD.
- -Comment string for absolute address files added
- -Show number of known decrunchers added (just for information)
