- NAME
- xpk.datatype -- data type for XPK and PowerPacker compressed files.
-
- FUNCTION
- The xpk data type is used to decompress XPK and PowerPacker
- compressed files. Decompressed files are then placed in "T:" logical
- directory and passed again to DataTypes system via NewDTObject().
- DataTypes system is then free to handle them (it will usually show
- contents of a decompressed file).
-
- METHODS
- OM_NEW -- Decompress source file, place it in "T:" directory and call
- OM_NEW method on that file.
-
- OM_DISPOSE -- Delete the object and all associated temporary files.
-
- NOTES
- Since the data type just calls OM_NEW method on a decompressed file
- it will work for files which were compressed several times (eg. DLTA
- encoded and SHRI compressed).
-
- BUGS
- Will not work for AmigaGuideĀ® compressed files (due to a bug in
- amigaguide.datatype, I suspect).
- Can not handle encrypted files.
