- XFD Package - Release 1.00
- ==========================
-
- IMPORTANT NOTE
- --------------
- This is the initial release of the new XFD standard. Because of some
- problems that have to be solved first, this release doesn't contain the
- includes and autodocs for the xfdmaster.library. Actually I'm not
- quite sure whether to release these to the public when finished or only
- send them to registered users. How about some feedback first?

- INTRODUCTION
- ------------
- Almost every Amiga user has some crunched files on his (hard)disks,
- either Powerpacked docs or crunched demos, utilities or whatever. But
- what to do when you need the files to be uncrunched, and you don't call
- the cruncher your own (or it doesn't support decrunching)? Enters XFD.
-
- FEATURES
- --------
- This software package allows you to decrunch nearly every packed file
- known on the Amiga. It consists of the xfdmaster.library as the brain
- and a couple of programs that offer certain functions to the user.
-
- The xfdmaster.library is a standard Amiga shared, runtime library. It
- works with Kickstart V33+ and offers applications the possibility to
- directly support any crunched files.
-
- Other than the predecessor decrunch.library, the xfdmaster.library has
- a more flexible user interface, offers the possibility to decrunch
- already loaded program segments and supports external decrunchers. The
- last mentioned can be easily written by any programmer who has
- knowledge about the inner workings of a new cruncher. That way almost
- everybody is able to keep the library up-to-date.

- HISTORY
