Unpack.svobject
© 1994-95 by Andreas R. Kleinert.
FREEWARE. All rights reserved.
Version : 3.2
Release Date : 29.10.1995
Requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- OS V2.04+ (V37)+ and its libraries
- superviewsupport.library V6+
- "xpkmaster.library" V2+ and/or "powerpacker.library" V33+
Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
Unpack.svobject is an external Library-Module for the
superview.library V5+.
I supports reading of XPK- or PowerPacked files and will re-parse
them through superview.library by creating an temporary, unpacked
file at the location "VMEM:" and then retrying to do the specific
operation on the file.
So this is just a Dummy-SVObject which does for you the work of
unpacking graphics files before displaying them.
Writing (packing) of files is not possible.
Remarks
~~~~~~~
* VMEM:
* Temporary data will be written to a directory assigned to "VMEM:".
* Compatibility:
* Well, this one is not a "real" SVObject and will thus not work
with Versions below V5 of superview.library.
It depends on the presence of GfxBuffer-Support and various other
things. It's just thought to make your life easier, if you've to handle
many packed files, which you don't want to unpack each time you
wish to display them.
Nevertheless it is recommended to work with unpacked files, wherever
possible. If you wish to pack files with PP20 or XPK, please
use the SVO-Format for this instead.
