- Description:
-
- PPDecrunch allows you to decrunch PowerPacked data files to STDOUT. What
- does that mean, you say? Why not use the plain old Decrunch program provided
- with PowerPacker? Well, by sending output to STDOUT, PPDecrunch can allow
- you to view PowerPacked files with SOME programs that otherwise cannot
- decrunch PowerPacked files by themselves. These programs MUST be able to
- accept input from STDIN. For example, LESS and MORE are capable of doing
- this. This comes in especially handy for remote shells and BBS'es, as most
- text readers except MORE open their own window, therefore they cannot display
- on the remote screen.
