YipeeYay!
Hi guys, Synthetic is back in doc! You just entered the QPP v1.0 docfile --
and be sure that this was a fault ( hehe )...
Ok, let`s begin.
1.) What is QPP ??
QPP is a little prog that may patch PowerPacker V4.0a - crunched objectfiles
for faster decrunching ( 30%-40% ! ). The original decrunch-header is
replaced by a better=faster one - which is about 198 bytes longer than the old
one. So we are getting to point 2;
2.) Who should it use why ??
QPP should just be used with large files, `coz little file are decrunching
rather fast, 1/100 second faster would most probably NOT be recognized;
but 2 seconds faster decrunching is a nice thing, eh?
I coded QPP with having an use with intros,demos etc. in mind, for two
reasons: First, faster decrunch is important with those, and 200 bytes more -
we fuck on it.
And second, QPP has a nice side-effect: The QPP-ed file may no longer be
decrunched with PowerPacker itself -- no-one is able to decrunch and
rip off your productions ( ok, really good dudes will be able, but these
guys ever get what they want )!!! Good, hm?
3.) Is it secure ??
Yes, if Powerpacker`s decrunchheader is. QPP uses ( nearly ) exactly the
same header, just a new decruncher, so no ( new ) bugs may have crept in.
4.) Can I have some more information ??
Of course you can :-) !
QPP handles 4 different decrunch-headers in it`s mainprg.
The four possiblities:
- Decrunched file is smaller than $7fff ( 32767 )
a) File has a color decruncher -> decrunch-header = 836 bytes
b) File has no color decruncher -> decrunch-header = 824 bytes
- Decrunched file is larger than $7fff
c) File has a color decruncher -> decrunch-header = 836 bytes
d) File has no color decruncher -> decrunch-header = 828 bytes
As you see, QPP differs
a) color decrunch or not ( what PowerPacker doesn`t, it just patches
the decruncher not to "color-flash", so even
no-color-decr`s have the flash-code --the file
gets larger )
b) length in word size or not ( just for offset-calulation in decruncher,
QPP uses an add.w instead of add.l if
possible )
