- MEGASTORE 1.1
- (c) DMC - 10/94
-
- Introduction :
- --------------
-
- MegaStore 1.1 is a program that compresses and uncompresses files. It
- is using the algorithm developed by Huffman. It gives very good results on
- text files (generally, less than 50%). .WVE files are not much reduced
- because they are already compressed (between 70% and 85%).
-
- Installing MEGASTORE:
- ---------------------
-
- Copy MEGASTOR.APP either on your internal disk or on an SSD. Install it
- by using the install menu or Psion-I.
-
- Using MEGASTORE :
- -----------------
-
- MegaStore 1.1 takes a huge amount of RAM space (95K). This is due to
- the fact that big structures (arrays, buffers and trees) are used.
-
- In the menu File, you can either choose to compress or uncompress fils.
- A file selector comes and asks you to choose a source file and a destination
- file. They can both be on a remote drive. Once the file is compressed, a box
- displays the source size and the destination file, and a percentage which
- corresponds to the size remaining of the source file.
- When you uncompress, a box displays the size of the file restored.
-

- Version 1.1 Improvements :
- --------------------------
-
- In this new version, the name of the original file is saved in the
- compressed file so that the user doesn't have to reenter the whole name of
- the uncompressed file when unpacking.
-
- A new menu called Convert will convert all files compressed with
- MEGASTORE 1.0 to the same file utilisable by this new version. You will be
- asked for the name of the original file (i.e. the one which has been compres-
- -sed).
-
- A new directory M:\MST\ is created. All compressed files have
- extension .MST by default and are store in this directory.
