- Quick description:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- xpkCYB1.library/StartCybPatch installed a patch on the xpkmaster.library
- packing function,so that anything crunched with the "xpkCYB1" sublibrary
- was automatically & transparently crunched with the most adapted packer.
-
- This had a (very small) limitation,it worked "only" with progs
- accessing the packing methods from xpkmaster.library (99% of programs).
- A great program like XFH is NOT among these,so CYB1 couldn't be used with it.
- So I had to create CYB2 that does the same kind of job of CYB1,but at the
- chunk level.
-
- With this,now *ALL* programs accessing xpk will do smart packing!
- Imagine a mega-improved XFH crunching intelligently all the files??? Yes Sir!
- Just select CYB2 as packer for your partitions & enjoy the show!
-
- CYB2 uses the same resources as CYB1,but there's a fundamental difference:
- as it's a REAL xpk-sublib (not a patch),the files will be recognized as
- crunched with CYB2,and you'll need CYB2 to decrunch (*AND* of course the
- 'normal' xpk-sublibs that were used to pack the chunks).The only moment
- when you'll have to think of this is if you want to transfer files to other
- people that's all.(they'll need to install the datamaster/CYB packages)
-
- Everything else can (must ;-) be found in the CYB package.
-
-
- XPK RULES!!
-
- (I hope that CYB will help :)
