XPKLoadSeg 1.1
by Christian Schneider
======================
WHAT IT DOES
------------
XPKLoadSeg wedges into LoadSeg() and NewLoadSeg (if available) and allows
to directly run programs that were compressed using the XPK standard. They
are decompressed while being loaded. XPKLoadSeg uses less than 700 bytes
when installed... Should not really bother you.
HOW TO USE
----------
Just start 'XpkLoadSeg' from your startup-sequence. No need to 'run' it.
If you want to remove it, use 'XpkLoadSeg -q'. The 700 bytes will be lost.
Do not try to start from Workbench.
HISTORY
-------
1.1 - Complete rewrite: Now able to remove patch
- Symbol and Debug Hunks are now skipped, Overlayed Files gracefully
fail instead of crashing the machine.
1.0 - First release, based on PPLoadSeg by Nico François
LEGAL MUMBO-JUMBO
-----------------
This program is Public Domain. You may freely use it, spread it, enhance
it or even delete it. No warranties either expressed or implied, use it at
your own risk!
PLEASE NOTE
-----------
Never pack crucial data (sources, texts) using XPK. And you better leave
often used files unpacked for speed and safety. And leave enough files
unpacked to be able to work without Xpk in case of emergency. Do not
distribute xpk-packed files, xpk is meant for private use (yet).
CONTACT ADDRESS

Send congrats, suggestions, bug reports, flames (in that order) to
