-

- #### THIS IS THE OVERALL BEST PACKER CURRENTLY AVAILABLE FOR XPK #####

-
- This is a WarpOS clone of xpkGZIP.library found at Aminet:util/pack/xpkGZIP.lha
- It behaves 100% identical to xpkGZIP 1.1 (68k). I bumped version number
- to 2.0 as this is module is a great improvement for WarpOS.
-
- Compression ratios:
- * 30% to 35% with binary files.
- * 70% to >80% (!!) with text files.
- Test yourself with xBench.
-
- Packing speed (with a CyberstormPPC 604e/200 and 060/50):
- Between 310 kb/s (best mode) and 750 kB/s (fastest mode).
-
- Unpacking speed is about 4.8 MB/s !!
-
- The PPC port of GZIP is much faster than the BZP2-WOS module although it has
- about the same compression ratios !!.
-
- Remember: This is for WarpOS only !! No PowerUP module available.
- The latest 68k version can be found at Aminet:pack/util/xpkGZIP.lha
-
- This module uses zlib 1.1.3 and it is FREEWARE !!
- If you use it, send me an email and tell me what you think about it :-)
-
- Installation:
- Simply copy the module to your LIBS:Compressor folder.
-
- Changes since V2.0:
- The ratio values in the descriptor were wrong.
