Short: THE C-64 archive file processor v38.13 Author: Jess Sosnoski (at the below address!!!) Uploader: starblaz@postoffice.ptd.net Version: 38.13 Type: misc/emu This program is designed to list/test or extract from the following C-64 type archives: .d64 Diskimages (174848 & 175531-byte varieties) .x64 Unix C-64 1541/1570 35-track diskimages .t64 Tapeimages .p00 Program images .lnx C-64 LyNX archives (ALL versions, both punter & xmodem types) .lbr C-64 Library Archives .sfx C-64 self-extracting archives (converts conveniently to lzh/lha) NOTE ---- I've noticed some people referring to this program as version 0.xxx It's VERSION 38 REVISION 13...not version 0.3813. Thank you :) REQUIREMENTS ------------ An Amiga with Kickstart 1.1+ (I don't have 1.0 so I can't test it on that) about 200K contiguous free ram, some supported archive files, and a storage device that will hold them--and possibly the output files. CHANGES: -------- 38.0: Totally rewrote I/O routines for even more speed. Fixed LOTS of bugs, added ability to not convert filenames. Oh, yea, added .t64 and .p00 file support, and AmigaGuide docs. 38.1: Fixed a bug in the command parsing which required one to select another option in order to use the no filename conversion option. 38.2: Added optional output path (gee, could be useful). Now checks dirs for circular links. Also, now reports illegal track & sector errors (in files or dirs). 38.3: Fixed a few bugs that were causing the program to permanently eat memory. Optimized a couple of odds 'n ends too. Smaller code size than 38.2! 38.4 Finally (totally) fixed the bug in the filesize function, now it will always free the fileinfoblock when it should. Removed some redundant code, eeeeeaaaaand... got smaller code than 38.2 and 38.3 (not much of an update, but definately a bugfix) 38.5 Fixed (hopefully) a bug causing mungwall hits and crashes if a filename for an archive was longer than 40 characters. I set the length of a filename to 255 characters to fix this. Hmmm...a hair more optimization shrunk the program another 4 bytes. 38.6 Added .x64 support, and possibility to extract .t64 IMG files. 38.7 Rewrote/optimized the .p00 and .t64 routines, and moved them to their own separate modules. Fixed 2 bugs in the .t64 processor: Now closes the output file if an error occured during a write, and skips over files who's pointer points past the end of the archive. Fixed a bug in the fileexists function that ignored the path, therefore only checking the current directory. 38.8 Some small optimizations, and added support for .lnx archives. 38.9 About 300 bytes worth of optimization, and fixed a NASTY bug in the .d64/x64 routine that wouldn't allow extraction/listing. (Damn, I SWEAR it worked right before I uploaded it!) 38.10 Minor update: added support for .d64's w/appended error information, 38.11 Supports all .t64 formats now, also supports all .lnx archives now. Added support for .lbr files. Added checking for corrupt .t64/.p00 files, and improved file recognition. Small optimizations here and there. Fixed a bug in renaming of files. 38.12 Added support for .sfx files, converts them conveniently to a lzh/lha extractable archive! :) 38.13 Reordered the .guide file. Changed the way .d64 data was stored in memory...therefore IT NO LONGER EATS UP 180K+ every time you run it...it only allocates the memory it needs, when it needs it. Fixed a bug in processing .d64's when track & sector links pointed to 0,0 Fixed bug in .p00 processing. Added swedish .guide to distribution (see thank you section!) ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 24564 11477 53.2% 10-Feb-97 20:58:42 und64 30682 12662 58.7% 22-Feb-97 23:35:06 und64.guide 1906 1391 27.0% 23-Feb-97 22:21:06 UNd64.Guide.info 3588 1807 49.6% 23-Feb-97 22:20:12 UNd64.readme 34815 14395 58.6% 02-Sep-92 15:32:38 UNd64Swedish.guide 2489 1699 31.7% 02-Sep-92 16:06:46 UNd64Swedish.guide.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 98044 43431 55.7% 24-Feb-97 23:21:16 6 files
