Short: XPK file (un)packer with complete GUI, ARexx port & more Author: Eric Sauvageau @ Fido 1:242/907.0, dream@step.polymtl.ca Uploader: dream@step.polymtl.ca Type: util/pack XPKatana 1.2 is a GUI/ARexx interface provied to XPK users. It features: o Complete resizable and font adaptive GUI (no need for any external library!) o Can pack and unpack files using any XPK sub-library installed on your system. o Can unpack files packed with non-XPK packers, using xfdmaster.library. o AppIcon, allowing easy "drag'n'drop" usage. o Features a special "Test Mode", allows you to benchmark a given set of packers on a selected file, and tell you which one gave the best compression ratio (can also output complete results to a file). o Make use of FileID.library (included) for file type analyzing, helping you to decide which packer to use on a given file. o Complete ARexx port, allowing easy interfacing with other applications, providing them with XPK support (DOpus5 and Final Writer example scripts are included). o Automatic script generation - allows easy batch jobs. --- AmigaDOS 2.04 and up is required, and you also need to have xpkmaster.library installed, with at least one sub-packer library (XPK is NOT included - look for the xpk25usr.lha archive). XPKatana is Shareware: a fee of 15$ US is required if you're regularly using this program and you like it - altough it ain't crippled in any way (I hate crippleware...) Included Amigaguide documentation is in English and in French. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 55736 18155 67.4% 29-May-96 16:37:52 +XPKatana_Eng.guide 2425 1250 48.4% 21-May-96 20:08:02 +XPKatana_eng.guide.info 64222 20873 67.4% 29-May-96 16:37:40 +XPKatana_Fra.guide 2425 1206 50.2% 21-May-96 20:08:02 +XPKatana_fra.guide.info 3887 1330 65.7% 08-Jan-96 01:20:08 +Docs.info 1317 730 44.5% 21-May-96 20:08:10 +DefIcons_kat.rexx 3033 1240 59.1% 01-Mar-96 19:45:26 +DO5-Pack_kat.rexx 2532 1121 55.7% 01-Mar-96 19:45:34 +DO5-Unpack_kat.rexx 1753 799 54.4% 01-Mar-96 19:47:48 +Examine_kat.rexx 2302 845 63.2% 20-Dec-95 19:33:14 +FW-Pack_kat.rexx 2810 953 66.0% 20-Dec-95 19:27:44 +FW-Unpack_kat.rexx 2342 1050 55.1% 01-Mar-96 19:49:52 +Pack_kat.rexx 1615 780 51.7% 01-Mar-96 19:51:10 +Unpack_kat.rexx 3869 1271 67.1% 08-Jan-96 01:18:50 +ARexx.info 23480 12976 44.7% 21-Aug-95 04:37:40 +FileID.library 15044 6340 57.8% 21-Aug-95 03:55:28 +FileID_lib.catalog 3764 1170 68.9% 13-Dec-95 03:15:34 +Deutsch 2486 1345 45.8% 25-Feb-96 03:27:18 +Deutsch.info 3618 1066 70.5% 20-Dec-95 20:51:12 +English 2465 1335 45.8% 25-Feb-96 00:03:14 +English.info 3723 1123 69.8% 05-Mar-96 21:32:10 +Français 2487 1348 45.7% 25-Feb-96 03:15:30 +Français.info 3819 1180 69.1% 20-Dec-95 20:51:28 +Italiano 2487 1341 46.0% 25-Feb-96 03:19:00 +Italiano.info 3637 1116 69.3% 20-Dec-95 20:51:58 +Norsk 2484 1342 45.9% 25-Feb-96 03:18:44 +Norsk.info 3682 1123 69.5% 20-Dec-95 20:52:32 +Português 2488 1348 45.8% 25-Feb-96 03:18:26 +Português.info 3859 1262 67.2% 08-Jan-96 01:19:44 +Install.info 80320 30007 62.6% 29-May-96 16:36:20 +xpkatana 3019 1411 53.2% 01-Mar-96 20:53:56 +XPKatana.info 1584 831 47.5% 29-May-96 16:51:16 +Read_Me.txt -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 314714 119267 62.1% 30-May-96 03:20:00 32 files
