- - UnCrunch -
- ==============
-
- This is a freeware and small command line utility to uncrunch files packed
- with the fantastic "!Crunch" by Bernard JUNGEN (Bern/BASS). The "Decrunch"
- module is courtesy of BASS. (Read Crunch' s help file for further infos)
-
- Archiologics already made an "!UnCrunch" application, which wasn' t working
- on my poor RiscOS2, and since using QDbug for decompression is tedious, I
- designed this utility. The tricks used here (depacker alteration) are likely
- to make Bern' s hair stood on end: the way crunched absolute files are
- identified is subject to caution, and since the depacker used is the one
- contained in the file it may not work on StrongARMed machines for files
- packed with older versions. (*CacheOff =) All in all, I have not yet seen
- this program going berserk, but I feel like saying that I can' t be held
- responsible for any data loss, or else...
-
- Usage is very easy: just type "uncrunch <filename>", then you' ll be faced
- with some infos concerning the file, and the appli will ask you if you want
- to save the uncrunched file. Type y or Y if you accept, then the unpacked
- file will be saved with same name as entry file. To depack a data file,
- you' ll need to run the Decrunch module first.
