- Storm Amos Cruncher V2.0b
-
- 1993 Ejber Ozkan
-
- This program will let you crunch any file into a much smaller file and when
- you need to use that file again you can decrunch it using this program again.
- As you may be aware this program bears a remarkable resemblance to another
- certain PACKER! (Even down to the colours on the menu!).The program was
- written this way to show the capabilities of AMOS! and also to help me learn
- how to use the amos menu system.As you can see I havent done at all bad!.
- However the crunched files will NOT decrunch by themselves!.
-
- To use click the right mouse button and select a menu option.
- The menu options are :-)
-

- The requestor is the first in a long line of amos extras that Im currently

- procedures instead.!You can even move the requestor box around the screen
- By Clicking on the border woith the left mouse button and repositioning.
