OK, now the big question: Has anyone written anything like this for the Amiga? For example, I have lots of PD games that I'd like to fit onto fewer disks, but compressing the executables doesn't save much space because the sound and graphics files are so large. Something like the above-mentioned program would be a major benefit. -- * From the disk of: | jms@vanth.uucp | "You know I never knew Jim Shaffer, Jr. | amix.commodore.com!vanth!jms | that it could be so 37 Brook Street | uunet!cbmvax!amix!vanth!jms | strange..."
