-
- UnWarp is a utility for unwarping .WRP archives created with the
- Warp disk archiving program. UnWarp is basically equivalent to using the
- function WARP WRITE with the following advantages.
-
- - A speed increase on an order of 3.5 to 5 times over a standard
- WARP WRITE command. The decompression routines in UnWarp have
- been greatly optimized for maximum efficiency.
-
- - The ability to unwarp to any AmigaDos device conforming to the
- standard 80 tracks - 512 bytes per block - 11 blocks per track
- - 2 surfaces. e.g. DF0: , DF1: , RAD: , etc...
-
- - Extended Virus checking of the boot blocks. UnWarp will check
- the boot blocks before writing it out and inform the user whether it
- has found any viruses and give you an option to automatically
- install the boot blocks. UnWarp currently checks for 15 different
- types of viruses - if it doesn't identify one and the boot blocks
- are non-standard , it will graphically display the contents of the
- boot blocks for visual inspection by the user.
-
- - The ability to specify a range of tracks to be unwarped.
-
- - Automatic disabling and enabling of disk validation before and
- after writing to a disk.

- Command Line Options and Usage

- The format for issuing an Unwarp command is as follows:
-
- UnWarp file[.WRP],,, [TO Dev:] [LOW lowtrack] [HIGH hightrack] [NOVAL]
-
- File[.WRP],,, is one or more filenames with an enforced .WRP ending.
-
- [TO Dev:] is an option to redirect track output to a different device,
- DF0: is the default.
-
- [LOW lowtrack] [HIGH hightrack] are options specifying a range of
- tracks to be unwarped , 0 to 79 is the default.
-
- [NOVAL] is an option to override the automatic dis/enabling of the
- disk validation procedure.
-
- Examples:
-
- UnWarp part1 part2.WRP
-
- This will unwarp the files part1.WRP and part2.WRP to the default DF0:
-
- UnWarp program TO DF1:
-
- This will unwarp the file program.WRP to DF1:
-
- UnWarp program TO RAD: LOW 40
-
- This will unwarp the file program.WRP to RAD: starting with track 40
-
- UnWarp part1 part2 TO DF2: LOW 30 HIGH 39 NOVAL
-
- This will unwarp the files part1.WRP and part2.WRP to DF2: , only tracks
