Warp v1.1. The Release. Written by the fine programmers at MAAD. usage. WARP read [dos/mfm] [nocomp] [append]. or WARP write start and ending track numbers range from 0 to 82. only in mfm mode can tracks 80 - 82 be read or written to. the default mode is DOS with either Dynamic Lempel-Zev, Huffman Squeezing, and NCR Packing as the compression mode. examples. WARP read 0 19 ram:stuff result: reads tracks 0 thru 19 using the normal Amiga trackdisk device and compressing 1 track at a time and storing in the file ram:stuff. WARP read 0 19 ram:stuff mfm result: same as above except uses raw mfm unencoded/decoded reads from the disk drive. WARP read 60 69 ram:stuff append result: if the file 'ram:stuff' exists , the tracks will be appended to the end of the file. this is good for creating one WARP file containg different tracks from each part of this disk. WARP read 0 19 ram:stuff nocomp result: reads tracks 0 thru 19 in normal DOS mode , overriding compression. WARP write ram:stuff will untracker the tracks contained in the file ram:stuff. WARP will automatically read in track numbers and modes and do CRC checking. therefore , it is possible to combine any combination of mfm or dos tracks together into one file. NOTE: Compression is done only if it yields a better result than normally storing the file. WARP is much much faster than trackering and arc'ing and yields much better results. Use WARP at all times! if a crc error is detected , the current track will be skipped. there is no need to ARC a Warp file as it will result in no further compression, and only cost you your valuable time, and waste the time of the users who have to unarc the file.
