Short: xpkGZIP module for WarpOS (V2.0)
Uploader: achimste@gmx.de (Achim Stegemann)
Author: achimste@gmx.de (Achim Stegemann)
Type: util/pack
Version: 2.0
Requirements:
* WarpOS V4
* XPK
######################################################################
#### 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.
