-
- A lot of the crunchers are written to pack demo programs, so they
- don't care about standard formats. In fact, they probable prefer
- to be non-standard to make it harder to rip stuff. The program
- Multi-Ripper 3.0 understands a wide variety of such formats.
-
- As far as data goes, XPK should be the standard. It doesn't use
- IFF structure, but that doesn't matter.
