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. 8) Automatic adding and removing of .pp suffixes from data files. 9) Info files will not be crunched unless you want them to. *new* 10) Default option can now be stored in and environment variable. *new* 11) '030 compiled version included NEW FEATURES Since v37.111 v1.14 - Specifying the option PassWord in ENV:PackIt did not work (fixed) - Removed some redundencies from the code, saving a few bytes. - Added some more error checking. v1.13 (v37.113) - Small internal change in error handling - Default options can now be stored in ENV:PackIt See Defaults above. v1.12 (v37.112) - Uses PrintFault() to report errors. - Switched to RCS version numbering.
