LATEST UPDATE JAN-6-90 BY FANTAZM V1.1.

   WRP2ZOM  
   -------

I.  Purpose of Script
	
	The purpose of this script is to convert those old warp files to
the newer ZOOM files.  You ask, "why do I need a script for that?  I can just
unwarp the old warp file and recompress it with ZOOM."  Well, that is a
possible method of converting the warp file to ZOOM.  By using this script,
the speed of the conversion can be considerably faster!  You ask, "how?"  By
using the RAD: disk.  The RAD: disk is very fast and it can be mounted to
operate like DF0, an 880k disk.  

II.  Requirements
	
  1.  An Amiga with at least 1.0 meg; more is HEAVILY suggested.
  2.  One 3.5 drive(WITH LOTS OF MEMORY), 2 DRIVES, or, a Hard Drive.
  3.  Unwarp v1.01 or higher
  4.  ZOOM v4.0	
  5.  Mountlist for RAD: added to YOUR Mountlist (MINE supplied in lzh)
  6.  Semi-Knowledge of ZOOM and Unwarp.

III.  How the Script Works

	The script is really simple.  The script starts out by
decompressing the warp file to RAD:.  Once the warp file is fully
decompressed, the script will then continue to compress the contents of
RAD: with ZOOM.  
 
   examples:
 
  usage: WRP2ZOM [Warp file name] [ZOOM file name] 
 
   WRP2ZOM df0:NEWTEK_Demo.wrp df1:NEWTEK_Demo.ZOM 
 
 -Two Drive Users

   -this would unwarp NEWTEK_Demo.wrp, contained on df0:, to RAD:, and then
    compress it using ZOOM with the name NEWTEK_Demo.ZOM.

 -OTHER STUFF
  
  -SINGLE DRIVE USE W/LOTS OF MEMORY (ABOUT 2.5 MEGS OR SO)
   1. COPY ALL SCRIPT COMMANDS AND UNWARP AND ZOOM TO RAM: THEN "PATH RAM:"
   2. PUT SOURCE FILE ONTO FLOPPY IN DF0: (OR INTO RAM:)
   3. ENSURE THERE'S ROOM FOR DESTINATION FILE (ON FLOPPY OR RAM:)
   4. -TO- RAM:
      WRP2ZOM DF0:SOURCE.WRP RAM:DEST.ZOM 
   5. -FROM- RAM:
      WRP2ZOM RAM:SOURCE.WRP DF0:DEST.ZOM

 -Hard Drive Users
 
   HardDrive users can omit the drive paths for the warp and ZOOM files. 
   Make sure that when you run the script that you are in the same
   directory as the warp file.  When the RAD: is compressed with ZOOM, the
   new file will also be saved in the same directory that you started in.
   If you would rather save the new ZOOM file to another directory, then
   just place a drive path infront of the new ZOOM filename.

IV.  Last Minute Notes

	Make sure to add the new RAD: mountlist to your mountlist.  Also,
make sure the script has been protected with "s" option (protect WRP2ZOM
add +s".  I'VE INCLUDED MY MOUNTLIST IN THIS.  IT HAS EVERYTHING YOU
NEED, OR YOU CAN JUST TAKE OUT THE PART (RAD: DEFINITION) YOU NEED AND
APPEND IT TO YOUR MOUNTLIST.

V.  Closing Notes
 
	Hopefully this script will help all those who do not want to pay
SDS Software to get their Warp-to-ZOM conversion program.  I place this
script into PIRATE Domain so that everyone can use it and enjoy it without
worrying about paying for it.  Change it to suit your needs if you want.
