- This is a port of the sploiner program by Richard Joergensen for PowerUP
- amigas. Read the file Readme.original for more info about it.
- I added a couple of features to get some more speed out of the PPC.
-
- New switch -q :
- When specified the byte display isn't shown while splitting a file.
- Reduces context switches so it performs slightly faster.
-
- New option -b :
- With this you can specify the size of the file buffer in bytes.
- I also increased the default buffer size from 15000 bytes to 45000 bytes.
- Note that min. value is 10000 bytes.
-
- Other :
- While joining the buffer size is 50000 bytes instead of 20000 bytes.
- This gives a small speed up with PPC.
- I also included the MS-DOS(spit!) and SPARC version from the original
- archive in case you need them. There's also a version compiled for 68020.
- I tried to compile a warpos version with vbcc but got some very strange
- results so I decided not to include it with this release.
-
- Compiling :
- Should compile out of the box with SAS/C. Just type 'smake -f smakefile.ppc'
- or 'smake -f smakefile.m68k'.
-
- Speed :
- Here's speed results from splitting and joining file PAK0.PAK from Quake.
- I used the following command: sploiner split pak0.pak -o ram:foo -q -b 60000.
- For the original version I used: sploiner.amiga split pak0.pak -o ram:foo
-
- Split: PPC 51.5
- 020 1.45.3
- ORIGINAL 1.59.4
-
- Join: PPC 23.7
- 020 21.6
- ORIGINAL 21.6
-
- All values are from my BlizzardPPC603e-240mhz+040-25mhz.
