Crawly Crypt Vol 2: Atari ST Archivers

4PAK      "4 PAK" - the TOS/PRG file compactor.  This program packer is similar
          in function to other popular packers like the Atomic packer, etc.
          Using 4 PAK, you can expect to pack files by around 60% with 4PAK. It
          is also frighteningly fast at unpacking.  Please note, 4PAK will not
          compress all PRG/TOS files.  If there are problems with the GEM
          header, 4PAK will not compress the file.


A2LSWTC2  A2LSWTCH.PRG (ARC.TTP to LHARC.TTP Switcher!) by Jan Dembowski.  This
          program allows people who use LHARC and ARC to switch back and forth
          between the two compression methods with the least amount of effort.
          You can now convert all your *.ARC files to *.LZH oor vice-versa!


ARC2LZH3  ARC <-> LZH version 3.0 by Wayne Watson.  The author wanted to
          automate the process of converting ARC files to the LZH format. So he
          created this little shell program.  This utility makes converting
          your ARCs to LZH format a snap!  FREEWARE!


ARCGSH41  Archiver GEM Shell version 4.1 by Rainer Klute.  Arcgsh is a GEM
          shell that eases the use of the most popular archiving programs for
          the Atari ST (arc, lharc, shar, tar, and zoo).  Furthermore the
          programs compress, uud, and uue are supported.  You can use your
          favorite file viewer and your favorite editor from Arcgsh without any
          need to leave the program.  Docs provided in both English and German
          in Tex format.


ARCLIST2  ARCLIST version 0.9 by Kevin Whitham will search downward from either
          the current drive/path looking for ARCed files.  All files found will
          have their contents written out to a file named "ARC_DATA.TXT".
          ARC.TPP must be in the same directory for this program to work.


ARCLZH63  Archiv-Lister ST version 6.3 by Stephan Slabihoud - the archive
          lister and unpacker utility for all Atari users.  Supports the
          following formats: ARC, ARJ, LZH, LZS, MOD, TRE, ZIP, ZOO.  This
          program is SHAREWARE.  All docs are in German.


ARCSHL30  ARC Shell version 3.0 by Charles F. Johnson is a GEM program which is
          designed to work with the popular ST archiving utilities ARC and
          LHARC (LZH).  Essentially, ARC Shell adds a GEM interface to the
          archiver programs, letting you point and click to select the various
          options instead of typing a command line.  ARC Shell also contains a
          complete GEM-based disk utilities package, that lets you copy files
          (with wildcards and with query), delete and rename files, create and
          delete folders, show the free space on any connected drive, and even
          run other programs...all without exiting to the desktop.


ARJ_995   (UN)ARJ version 9.95, rev. 3.004 by the TOS crew.  Claims to be 100%
          compatible with R.Jung's ARJ.EXE for IBM.  Special features: MODE 1
          PACKING, password protection, multiple volumes, diskette user
          support, extra verbose, on-line manual, extended repair options,
          complete output redirection, fast - at least triple compared to any
          other implementation!


ATOM36    Atomik Cruncher version 3.6 by Altair.  This utility will compress
          both program and data files.  Once compressed, the programs will
          still be executable.  When run they will unpack and load
          automatically.  This version of Atomik is compatible with Warp 9 and
          includes an option to unpack files.


AUTO_501  Automation Packer version 5.0.1 by EGB.  This version of the
          Automation packer was written because the ICE packer from AXE was
          faster than the previous Automation release.  This new version of
          Automation also includes some source code that will demonstrate how
          some of this stuff works.


BELEF     Belef II (pronounced: BELL*EFF) version 2.02 - Uncle Carl's Famous
          Archive Shell & Converter by Carl J. Hafner.  Belef can best be
          described as a universal compression utility shell.  It is universal
          in the sense that it should work with ANY compression utility, past,
          present or future!  ALL of the functions associated with your
          favorite parameter taking compression utility are available, as well
          as the ability to convert one form of archival storage file into
          another with a minimum of effort!  Belef works on all ST/STe/TT
          computers in medium and high resolutions.


BOOZGEM3  Booz version 2.1.3 for GEM was written by Michael Alan Dorman and was
          based on the original Booz code by Rahul Dhesi.  It is designed to be
          a basic, memory-efficient extractor for Zoo files.  It's designed to
          be run from the command line, and has a minimum of options--just l,
          t, and x, to list, test, and extract files, respectively.  It
          currently has some limitations.  However it *does* handle the high-
          compression Zoo 2.1 files.


BRIKBIN   Brik by Rahul Dhesi generates and verifies 32-bit CRC values
          (checksums).  It is designed to generate CRCs for text files that are
          the same on all computer systems that use the ASCII character set,
          provided each text file is in the usual text file format for each
          system.  Brik will also optionally use binary CRCs calculated using
          every byte in a file.  Such binary CRCs are portable across systems
          for binary files that are moved from system to system without any
          newline conversion.  Brik can be asked to decide by examining each
          file whether to calculate a text mode or binary mode CRC for it.


CDC_220   The Chaos Disk Compactor version 2.20 by Miles Vignol is a program
          that will turn whole disks into files.  Why?  Well, some uses could
          be to backup entire disks to your Hard Drive, send an entire disk
          over a modem, etc.  If the ST can read the disk, CDC should be able
          to compress it.  CDC has been designed to work in any resolution, and
          on any ST computer.


COMPRESS  Compress is an adaptive Lempel-Zev compression program that was
          ported to the Atari platform from the world of Unix.  This version
          has a default value of 13 bits as the size of the encoding.  This can
          be changed to 12 by using the -b12 option (see docs).


DARC      DARC version 1.1 by Gunnar Teege is a utility for archiving whole
          folder trees from the TOS file system into a single file preserving
          the tree structure.  The contents of the tree is compressed, so that
          the archive will need only about 50 to 70 % of the space the tree
          needed.  The compression and collecting of many files into a single
          one is done by the already existing utility ARC.  THE ARC PROGRAM IS
          NEEDED TO RUN DARC!  DARC is only a frame program that runs through
          the tree collecting everything it finds and feeding it into the ARC
          program.


DECOMPRE  DeCompress version 3 by J. Wesolowski is a GEM based utility that
          will allow you to quickly extract files from ARC or LZH archives.  If
          you wish, DeCompress will also delete the original archives once the
          files are extracted.


ESSCD63   ESS-Code version 6.30 by Michel Forget was designed to allow computer
          users to exchange binary files over computer networks that do not
          support the transmission of binary data.  ESS-Code is 100% GEM driven
          and fully supports the most popular methods of conversion;
          UUEncoding/UUDecoding, MIME Encoding/ MIME Decoding, BTOA Encoding/
          BTOA Decoding, and SHIP Encoding/ SHIP Decoding.  If you get files
          from Internet then you will most likely *N*E*E*D* this program.
          Shareware!


EXPAND15  Expand-o-matic version 1.5 by Andrew Cullum is a shell for dealing
          with a variety of compressed formats.  It is automatic in the sense
          that when you choose an archive to extract, it examines the filename
          extension and determines which archiver to use.  It makes unarchiving
          a group of files go MUCH more smoothly and much quicker.  Shareware!


EZSQUEEZ  EZ Squeeze version 1.0 by John Brocha is an old archiver.  It is slow
          and inefficient by today's standards BUT it can be EXTREMELY useful
          if you come across a file that you want to extract that was
          originally archived with EZ Squeeze.  It doesn't seem to work on the
          Falcon and contains no documentation.


FLXAR31A  FLEXI-ARC version 3.1a by William Wong is an amazing shell for all
          past, present and future archivers.  Everytime a new archiver (or a
          new version of an existing archiver) appears, many ST owners wait
          until their favorite archiver shell program supports the new
          archiver.  Flexi-Arc can use ANY new archiver from the first day of
          it's release.  It is adaptable to ANY archiver.


GTARBIN   GNU Tar version 1.10 Ported to the Atari ST with MiNT (and without)
          by Alan Hourihane.  It is a full fledged TAR that can handle
          compressed archives rather than uncompressing and then untaring
          seperately.  Included in the binaries part of the this port is Alan's
          compiled version of compress v4.0.  MiNT is suggested because it
          provides all the facilities neccessary to use this program
          successfully.  Supporting pipes are essential for the compress/
          uncompress function of GNU Tar to work, otherwise all the other
          functions should work under standard TOS.


GZIP06ST  GNU ZIP version 0.6 byDaniel Eriksson.  This is an experimental port
          of GNU ZIP for the Atari.  There are two different versions, one for
          the normal TOS filesystem and one for MinixFS (or similar).  The TOS
          version hasn't been tested very much, but it should at least give
          people without MinixFS a chance to test GZIP out.  This version of
          GZIP was compiled with GCC v2.3.1 PL1 and MiNTlibs PL25.  For
          information on the different compile-options used please see the
          included Makefile.st file.


HPACK     HPACK multi system archiver ported to the Atari ST by Martin
          Braschler from the original code by Peter Gutmann.  This version is
          complete, just about each and every feature should work.  HPACK is
          available for virtually every system of some importance, and all
          versions are REALLY compatible.  HPACK uses powerful unix-style
          wildcard matching, allows large archives to be split over several
          disks, uses powerful public-key encryption ("military grade"), and
          allows archives to be secured with a "fingerprint" that ensures that
          an archive is not tampered with.


ICE_2_40  Pack-Ice version 2.40 by Axe of Superior is a program packer.
          Programs packed with the ICE Packer will automatically unpack and
          execute when run from the desktop.  Ice Pack is now compatible with
          more programs.  Try the programs that never worked when they were
          packed with any packer.  They might work now. (No promises made...)


IMPLODER  This little hack is an extremely quick port (by Torbjorn 'Hackbear/
          Digital Chaos' Ose) of the Amiga file packer "File Imploder".  It is
          a program packer similar in function to Atomic or the ICE Packer.  It
          is very simple to use - install it as a .ttp taking full-pathname.
          Then simply drag any file onto the imploder.ttp icon.


LAZA      LAZAZ! version 2.00 by Andreas Papula is a very slick and easy to use
          GEM shell for LHarc, ARC, ZOO, ARJ & ZIP.  The program and docs are
          in German but the program is very easy to use.  Shareware!


LPAK      LPAK version 0.5(beta) by Andrew D. Webber is a little utility that
          allows you to compress data files and will then decompress these
          files without user intervention whenever they are used.  The user
          compresses selected files using the supplied packer (LZSS.PRG) and
          accesses them as normal when LPAK is installed and active.  At
          present LPAK only works on data files - i.e. don't use it on program
          files (use a program packer on those instead).


MDP_212   Mega Depack release 2.12 - Coded by Mike Watson in 100% 68000
          assembler ("who needs compilers to do GEM based programs?").  Mega
          Depack will run as either a desk accessory or as a program.  This
          utility will "unpack" files that were packed with most of the popular
          program packers (such as ICE or Atomic).  53 different packers and a
          total of 89 different file formats are supported.


MPACK13B  Mpack version 1.3 by Hans Streibel.  This is a port of the mpack/
          munpack programs.  mpack/munpack encodes/decodes MIME messages.
          munpack is also able to decode uuencoded files.  This port runs ONLY
          under MiNT on the Atari.  The port consists in essence of the unix
          version of mpack/munpack - thus, in theory, it should be possible to
          send mail from mpack.  However this has not been tested.


MSA_2_3   Magic Shadow Archiver version 2.3 allows you to create an image of a
          floppy disk as a file on a hard drive - which can be restored to
          another floppy later on.  Version 2.3 adds the following new
          features: Runs in all resolutions under all TOS versions (even
          MultiTOS), works on the Falcon030, can be run as a PRG or as an ACC!
          *NOTE: Provided for use with the *MANY* demos contained on this CD.


NAUGHTY   The Naughty Unpacker version 1.3 by Marinos Yannikos is a tiny little
          program that will unpack almost all packed executable programs.  If
          you try it on a program which isn't packed, in most cases it will
          tell you, even though it does not really check for specific unpacking
          routines.


NCMP424   This is an ST Port of Peter Jannesen's (N)compress version 4.2
          patchlevel 4.  (N)compress is an improved version of compress 4.1.
          Compress is a fast, simple LZW file compressor.  Compress does not
          have the highest compression rate, but it is one of the fastest
          programs to compress data.  Compress is the defacto standard in the
          UNIX community for compressing files.  Includes source code diffs.


PACSH258  PacShell version 2.58 by Holger Weets is a GEM shell for various
          archiver programs including: Zip, Zoo, Lzh, Arc, (UN)Arj, Tar.
          Contains only German documentation, but the program has 100% English
          text/menus.  This version features a bugfix concerning the use of
          ZIP.  Shareware!


PFXPAK32  PFXPAK Programm-Packer version 3.2 by Thomas Quester is a nice
          utility that will take an executable program and apply LZH
          compression to it BUT the packed program will STILL BE EXECUTABLE.
          Similar to DC Squish but with MUCH BETTER COMPRESSION!  All docs are
          in German.  The program is completely GEM based and easy to use.


POWDEPAK  PowerPacker version 2.0 DataDePacker by bITmASTER of TCE is a small
          utility that will unpack files that were packed with the PowerPacker
          from the Amiga.  If you come across a PowerPacked data file you can
          now unpack it and examine it.  All documentation is in German.


RD_DEMO   RD - Resident De/Compressor (Demo) by Si.  RD is a file compressor
          and decompressor that works automatically with minimal intervention
          from the user.  Compressed files are read as if they were the
          original raw file.  This includes the ability to randomly access any
          information in the raw file.  New files are compressed when they are
          created.  Compressed files that are opened, then altered before being
          closed are recompressed.


SCRUNCH2  ST-Cruncher version 2.0 by "The X-King Arthur".  A GEM based cruncher
          program from Europe.


SPLITTER  Splitter version 2.0 by S.Coates & M.J.Matts was written after a
          request from Alan Woodcock (Desktop Services) who wanted to be able
          to ship a 1 meg+ scanned image file to another machine via floppy
          disks, obviously the size of the file presented a major problem,
          especially if it had already been packed with LZH, ZIP or another
          archiver.  Splitter allows you to overcome this barrier by breaking
          the large file into smaller blocks, and then rebuilding it to it's
          original form.  Shareware.


STZIP26   ST ZIP version 2.6 by Vincent Pomey is an archiver that is 100%
          compatible with PKZip 2.04 on the IBM PC, and the Unix Info-Zip
          programs Zip 1.9/Unzip 5.0.  It features a full GEM interface.
          Postcardware!  (EVERYONE should register this one)
          *NOTE: Provided for use with the ZIPed files contained on this CD.


TAR_1112  This is a port of GNU tar 1.11.2 for MiNT and minix file-systems. The
          program has been compiled using gcc 2.4.5 and the mintlibs pl34.
          Stacksize has been set to 16 Kb; it may need to be increased.  Main
          changes since the previous version are: Support for "gzip" instead of
          "compress", no more complaints about failed changes to access times
          for directories.  Ported by Hildo Biersma.


TWOINONE  Two-in-One version 1.20 by Gregor Duchalski is an archive shell and
          manager for the Atari ST/STe/TT/Falcon that supports ARC, ARJ,
          LZH, ZIP, and ZOO.  Includes a text viewer module.  Can be used
          as a GEM application or called from a CLI.  The program and docs are
          in German.


UNARJSHL  UnARJ Shell version 0.2. by R. J. Darling is a simple shell program
          to make the use of UnARJ very simple.  A lot of people prefer to use
          a shell than to mess around with command line parameters.  This shell
          is designed for use with UnARJ v2.21 by Jiri Lamac.  It will not work
          with any other versions of UnARJ as far as I am aware.


UNLZH172  UNLZH version 1.72 by John Harris is a program for extracting .LZH
          archive files.  UNLZH combines an easy to use, GEM based interface
          with high speed extraction routines, to give you a much simpler and
          much faster way to extract LZH archives.  It is a self contained
          program - you do not need to have LHARC or any 'shell'. It is written
          in 100% Assembly language and extracts approximately four times
          faster than LHARC.  UNLZH can search past damaged sections of an
          archive, and should be able to extract the rest of the files.


UNZIP51B  The Info-ZIP group's portable UnZip zipfile-extraction program
          version 5.1 beta (and related utilities).  UnZip is an extraction
          utility for archives compressed in .zip format (also called
          "zipfiles").  Although highly compatible with PKWARE's PKZIP and
          PKUNZIP utilities for MS-DOS (in addition to Info-ZIP's own Zip
          program), the primary objective of this program are portability and
          non-MSDOS functionality.


UUX789    This is uud.ttp version 3.3 and uue.ttp version 3.1 as compiled
          (ported) on the ST by Steve Yelvington.  The programs are full
          implementations of UUencode and UUdecode.  They are named uud and uue
          instead of uudecode and uuencode to avoid confusion between different
          implementations of the programs.
