Short: LZX disk-packer (better than DMS!) V1.3
Uploader: te900078@beta.ufsia.ac.be (Dirk Vael)
Author: Adam Chapman & Dirk Vael
Type: util/arc
This is an update of xDM V1.2, with VERY important improvements, like:
- option to check BAM before packing (to clear unused blocks)
- autodetected support for several filesystems (including MS-DOS!!)
- much faster decompression (for xDM V1.3 archives only, though)
- backwards compatible with xDM 1.0 till 1.2
- comprehensive & extensive Amigaguide docs
Requirements (NOT included in this archive):
- Workbench 3.0+
- LZX 1.00+ (check Aminet: util/arc)
- 2MB RAM & harddisk or simply 4 MB RAM
- MFS (only needed if other filesys are used)(check Aminet: disk/misc)
Machines tested on: A4000/040/10 using LZX 1.20e & OS 3.1
A1200/020/4 using LZX 1.10e & OS 3.0
Results: 10-25% gain over DMS archives (sometimes even more!), not
talking about the flexibility & speed (This really kicks ass!)
If you don't believe it, just try this little program, and see
