DESCRIPTION


    XPK-KNIGHT is a free configurable, easy Graphic-Userinterface for
    comfortable usage of most of the important functions whithin the
    XPKMASTER.library and its correspondending XPK-packers.


    Functions-Overview
    -----------------

     - easy todo intuition-steering by mouse with additional shortcuts

     - usefull as single (de)packer as well as for automatic operations
       on large amount of data or even simply as a .xpk-files-tester

     - an internal script allows independent packing of data-files also
       on different devices. This process can very simply be programmed
       by the user via filerequester and few mouse-clicks.

     - subsequent inserting or deletion of script-entries is possible

     - the number of entries is limited only by your available RAM

     - build-in safety against loss of data during file-saving

     - the options of xpk-packers(chunksize, packmode, password) can be
       chosen as easily by mousebutton as the program-process or -priority

     - any failures are caught in a safe way without terminating the
       program and will then be marked for later control

     - free choice of best suitable packers or even automatic searching
       for the best packratio with the so called "Try-Mode"

     - automatic information about the kind of files there is worked on

     - shows all possible features of the available xpk-packers

     - open concept for adding each future xpk-crunchers

     - suffixes, icons and filecomments can be handled separately
