- Introduction
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- I use xpk libraries for auto-(de)compression of my hd, and I wanted an easier
- way of comparing them as I saw many new ones released. I couldn't find any
- already released utilities which did what I wanted, so I made XPKTEST.rexx
- instead. It is an arexx script which tests compression and decompression
- speed of 1-many xpk libraries on 1-many files. The crunch factor is ofcourse
- also included, and the output is clean and tidy (IMHO).
-
- PS! If you have trouble with too little hd-space, buy DiskExpander today!
- XPK-compression is fast, reliable, flexible, efficient etc. In other words :
- everything dblspace/stacker for ms-dos never will be!
-
-
- Requirements
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- The XPK package. Preferably som more (and newer) xpk-libraries.
- Kickstart 3.0 (At least you have to have arexx and the cli-commands I use).
- A running rexx-server.

- History
- ~~~~~~~
-
- V2.1: * Kilobytes per second columns included.
- * Output uses self-adjusting columns.
- * Bugs removed from the CreateConfig-script.
- * More accurate timing : pack from disk to disk, unpack from disk to
- ram.
