NAME
	xfdDecrunch 1.03

SYNOPSIS
	xfdDecrunch SOURCE/A,DEST,ALL/S,FORCE/S,CLONE/S,
	            ND=NODIRS/S,NA=NOASK/S,LS=LINKSIMPLE/S,
	            LP=LINKPRO/S,CA=COPYALL/S

DESCRIPTION
	xfdDecrunch unpacks crunched files.
	Kickstart V37+ is required.

	SOURCE specifies the file(s) that should be decrunched.
	Wildcards of any kind are supported.

	DEST is the file/drawer to save the result to.
	If SOURCE contains wildcards/is a drawer, DEST must be
	a directory. If it doesn't exist, it will be created.
	If SOURCE is a single file, DEST can be an existing
	directory or a (new) filename. In the first case, the
	old filename will be used in the new directory.
	Without DEST, the old files will be overwritten.

	Files that cannot be decrunched will usually not appear
	in the DEST drawer. COPYALL tells xfdDecrunch to simply
	copy all these files to the DEST drawer too. Certainly
	this option only works if DEST is given.

	ALL makes xfdDecrunch go through all subdirectories
	that exist in SOURCE. Note that these drawers are
	created in the same order in the DEST directory.
	If there exists a file with the name of a drawer to be
	created, files will be written to the parent drawer.
	If NODIRS is given, no subdirectories will be created
	and files from all drawers will be written to DEST.

	If DEST already exists, you will be asked if you want
	to overwrite the file. With FORCE, this request will
	be skipped.

	With CLONE, the decrunched files (and drawers) receive
	the same comments and protection bits as the source
	files.

	Usually, when an error occurs while decrunching a file,
	xfdDecrunch asks if you want to continue with the next
	files or quit. With NOASK specified, this request will
	be skipped and decrunching continues automatically.

	With files that are crunched with an absolute address
	cruncher, you have two additional options: LINKSIMPLE
	and LINKPRO. The first one links a quite simple header
	to the decrunched data that simply copies the file to
	the required location and executes it. The second
	header is more complex. It tries to allocate the wanted
	memory area and works with overlays thus not needing
	any memory at all before allocating the desired area.
	This is absolutely system-friendly and should work
	even on machines with less RAM.

HISTORY
	xfdDecrunch 1.03
	- CLONE doesn't clone the creation dates anymore.
	- CLONE now also clones the comments and protection
	  bits of any drawers that are created.
	- Added COPYALL option.
	- Added abbrevations for NODIRS and NOASK options.

	xfdDecrunch 1.02
	- Totally removed arp.library and Kick 1.3 support.
	  It was impossible to implement all OS 2 features.
	- xfdDecrunch now creates the same drawer hierarchy
	  in the destination drawer as given in the source
	  drawer (with ALL option).
	- Source and destination lengths are printed now.
	- Added NODIRS and NOASK options.
	- Added LINKSIMPLE and LINKPRO options.

	xfdDecrunch 1.01
	- Fixed bug in CLONE routine. SetFileDate() has been
	  called on Kick 1.3, but it's not available there!
	- Changed some internal stuff for the documented
	  release of xfdmaster.library 33.2.

	xfdDecrunch 1.00
	- First public release.
