This program was tested on my A500 2.5 MB, ROM 2.04, AMOS Pro 2.0
INSTALLATION
------------
To run PowerPacker Accessory v1.5 you should have installed EasyLife
extension ( It's extension no 16 ).
I've included old version of this extension which is freeware, but there's
latest version available on Aminet - dev/amos Easy1.lha, Easy2.lha, Easy3.lha.
So I recommend you to get the full package.
You should also copy powerpacker.library to your LIBS directory.
You have to load & run my program as an accessory.
LIMITATIONS
-----------
However this is UNREGISTERED VERSION, and there are some limitations...
You can't load & decrunch AMOS programmes which are bigger than 10 kb
(decrunched size of course). And you can't save and crunch your program which
is bigger than 10 kb (decrunched size of course).
When you exceed this limit you'll hear bell...
See REGISTRATION chapter.
OPTIONS
-------
There're only six options, but ...
'LOAD' - load normal or crunched (PowerPacked) AMOS programmes
display crunched or normal IFF pictures, AMOS packed picture banks
play crunched or normal NT/PT, MED music modules

------------
If you send me only 5 US$ (cash of course) and your e-mail address I'll send

So you can easily uudecode it on your AMIGA using uudecoders (they're available
on aminet util/arc).

the fastest posibility) please let me know.

- unlimited and faster
- smaller than 8 kb !!! Yes that's true !!!
