- 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.
