Brief instructions:
Run the .ttp program. At the prompt, type the name of the program you'd
like to pack, leave a blank space, and then the name of the new, packed
filename. Do _not_ use the same filename, and do not delete the
original, unpacked version until you have verified that the packed version
works.
If you need to unpack a file for some reason, at the command line, type
"-u pack_filename.ext unpacked_name.ext" where the "xxx.ext" is replaced
by the packed file and the name to which you want it unpacked.
Packed files should average between 25%-50% smaller, and will load as fast
as the unpacked, if not faster.
Any executable code can be packed; this includes desk accessories, .EXE
files (such as 'neodesk.exe'), and all .PRG/.TOS/.TTP.
*** The file PACKER.HBL is a HotWire Block, which contains a small
command shell for PFXPAK. Just install the block into a HotWire
menu, fix the path to where you keep PFXPAK.TTP, and away you go!
