- Short: Powerpacker.library 68020+ version

- Powerpacker.library 37.3
- ------------------------
- This is an optimised version of powerpacker.library based on Nico Francois'
- original v36.10, which is to the best of my knowledge the highest version
- that has been released in the last 4-5 years.
-
- My version only works on machines with at least a 68020 or greater processor.
-
- I also removed lots of reloc entries, making the executable shorter.
-
- As Nico hasn't updated powerpacker for several years, and has given reqtools
- to someone else, Is it safe to say, that he's left the Amiga?
- If so, Adios Nico, you'll be missed.

- History:
- ~~~~~~~~
-
- 37.0 06.11.96 - Initial release.
-
- 37.1 07.11.96 - Removed enforcer hit in the decrunch routine.
-
- 37.2 22.12.96 - Rewrote the decrunch colour identification routine.
- Corrected the version & revision fields of the lib base.
- Now, the no-flash decrunch type uses the NO-OP hardware
- register instead of a
-
- 37.3 27.12.96 - PPErrorMessage was broken in the last three versions
- and returned nonsense results, which caused some
- applications to behave randomly.
-
- *Please Note*
- PPErrorMessage() should only be called if there was
- a non-zero return code from PPLoadData()
- For some reason GadToolsBox (And some others) were
- calling PPErrorMessage() even when everything went ok!
-
- Speeded up the PPDecrypt function a little.
