- YipeeYay!
-
- Hi guys, Synthetic is back in doc! You just entered the QPP v1.0 docfile --
- and be sure that this was a fault ( hehe )...
-
- Ok, let`s begin.
-
- 1.) What is QPP ??
-
- QPP is a little prog that may patch PowerPacker V4.0a - crunched objectfiles
- for faster decrunching ( 30%-40% ! ). The original decrunch-header is
- replaced by a better=faster one - which is about 198 bytes longer than the old
- one. So we are getting to point 2;
-
- 2.) Who should it use why ??
-
- QPP should just be used with large files, `coz little file are decrunching
- rather fast, 1/100 second faster would most probably NOT be recognized;
- but 2 seconds faster decrunching is a nice thing, eh?
- I coded QPP with having an use with intros,demos etc. in mind, for two
- reasons: First, faster decrunch is important with those, and 200 bytes more -
- we fuck on it.
- And second, QPP has a nice side-effect: The QPP-ed file may no longer be
- decrunched with PowerPacker itself -- no-one is able to decrunch and
- rip off your productions ( ok, really good dudes will be able, but these
- guys ever get what they want )!!! Good, hm?
-
- 3.) Is it secure ??
-
- Yes, if Powerpacker`s decrunchheader is. QPP uses ( nearly ) exactly the
- same header, just a new decruncher, so no ( new ) bugs may have crept in.
-
- 4.) Can I have some more information ??
-
- Of course you can :-) !
- QPP handles 4 different decrunch-headers in it`s mainprg.
- The four possiblities:
-
-
- - Decrunched file is smaller than $7fff ( 32767 )
-
- a) File has a color decruncher -> decrunch-header = 836 bytes
-
- b) File has no color decruncher -> decrunch-header = 824 bytes
-
- - Decrunched file is larger than $7fff
-
- c) File has a color decruncher -> decrunch-header = 836 bytes
-
- d) File has no color decruncher -> decrunch-header = 828 bytes
-
-
- As you see, QPP differs
-
- a) color decrunch or not ( what PowerPacker doesn`t, it just patches
- the decruncher not to "color-flash", so even
- no-color-decr`s have the flash-code --the file
- gets larger )
-
- b) length in word size or not ( just for offset-calulation in decruncher,
- QPP uses an add.w instead of add.l if
- possible )
