Contained in the MicroPhone II 3.0 document are two XCMDs - Stuff and UnStuff.
These XCMDs allow you to create Stuffit Deluxe archives as well as decompressing
both Stuffit Deluxe/Classic and Stuffit 1.5.1 archives. They require the presence
of the 'Stuffit Engine™' which is part of the Stuffit Deluxe package. If the
Engine is not present, these XCMDs will not work, and will return an error
in theResult.
These are standard XCMDs and although I have only tested them in MicroPhone II
and Hypercard, though there is no reason why they should not work with Supercard or
other applications which support XCMDs and the standard callbacks.
The XCMDs have the following syntax in version 1.0:
Stuff archiveName, fileName, compressionType
- archiveName is a full pathname for the new archive you want created.
- fileName is a full pathname to a text file which contains a carriage
return(CR) delimited list of files and folders to be archived.
See the Example Batch file contained in this archive for an example.
- compressionType is an integer representing which compression to use
None = 0
Faster = 1
Fast = 2
Better = 3
UnStuff archiveName
- archiveName is a full pathname for the archive you want unstuffed. The
contents of the archive are placed into a new folder called
'archiveName Folder'. This is similar to QuickUnstuff and Magic Menu.
The MicroPhone II 3.0 document includes scripts which show how to use the XCMDs
and you are free to use these scripts as is, or modified to your needs in any
documents that you wish. The document and the XCMDs are freely distributable, BUT
may not be sold directly or with any other product without my permission.
I do, however, give permission for user groups such as BMUG, BCS, NYMUG, etc. to
include these in their software libraries and CD-ROM collections. This does not
include for profit groups such as Educomp, though I do give permission to the folks
at Somak Software.
