[comp.sys.amiga] BKDC *.WRP files

dave@csd4.csd.uwm.edu (David A Rasmussen) (11/29/89)

question: in some of the last badge killer demo contest entries you have
a .WRP file and a program called non-badge/warp.  What am I to do with this
stuff?

Please send mail.

The included ``warp'' command is to be used to unpack the .WRP files
onto whole diskettes (things that took up a whole disk I warp'ed for
convenience's sake). 

Example:
	1> warp write ram:sentinel1.wrp

will extract the first disk of the sentinel demo from ram:sentinel1.wrp
(assuming that's where you put it) onto the disk in df0: (it'll prompt
you to insert a disk first, thankfully).

Use of the ``warp'' command with no arguments yields a brief synopsis...

 If a file is a '.wrp' file (I feel that, if I know, I can answer) - then you need a utility called 'WARP22.arc'. WARP is like ARC and ZOO, but it can compress a full disk. All you have to do is copy the file with the '.wrp' extention to RAM: (which is what I usually do - hopefully you have at least 1 megabyte) and then type (make sure WARP is in the 'C' dir of your boot disk):

 
              WARP WRITE RAM:FILENAME.WRP

 It will then ask you to insert a blank disk into df0: and when you do this, it will continue to write/uncompress the file to DF0:.   That covers it, I believe.
