DESCRIPTION
PackIt is a CLI only program to replace the crunch and decrunch commands
that came with PowerPacker (Copyright Nico Francois).
PackIt features:
1) Single command for crunching and decrunching
2) PackIt will automatically crunch or decrunch a data file depending
on whether it is allready crunched or not.
3) Password can be specified as a shell option, or you can use a
string requester.
4) PackIt will not crunch executables, unless told to do so.
Note: PackIt will only crunch the executables as a data file
you will not be able to run them.
5) PackIt will automaticly replace the source file unless a destination
is given.
6) PackIt can take a dir as a destination, in that case it will crunch/
decrunch the file into that dir.
7) Allows wildcard [de]crunching with dir recursion.
