I have just uploaded my preliminary IBMPC version of AB: my AmigaBinary packer/unpacker. I hacked it together in my free time the past few days using a VAX & VMS C plus Unix C as a double-check. Then I ported it DRC on the IBM to check out the short ints & give it to you. I haven't started using Amiga C yet, but I plan to get going by porting it to the Amiga next (where it belongs!) This isn't a full implementation yet, though it does support files/.info files and subdirectories. Since I wrote it in standard C, I haven't put in time/date stamping or disk labels. Because it uses DRC's standard wild-carder, you must specify multiple directories separately, without using paths (Ugh!) e.g. To pack all files in D:\dir & D:\dir\sub1 & D:\dir\sub2 into COMBO.AB including the directory separations, you could: C>CD D:\DIR C>AB C COMBO.AB D:*.* ; Create COMBO.AB C>CD D:SUB2 C>AB -DSUB1 A COMBO.AB D:*.* ; Add files into SUB1 C>cd D:..\SUB2 C>AB -DSUB2 A COMBO.AB D:*.* ; Add files into SUB2 Notice I suggested working on drive C:, so that the CD's don't take you away from the COMBO.AB library. This will definitely change in future releases. Let me know what you think about the user interface, if you have the time and/or desire to look at it. Its in DL6, by the way. >>Wayne<<
