CRANKER INTRODUCING A NEW AMIGA EXECUTABLE CRUNCHER AND LOADER
YOU HAVE REACHED THE END OF ANOTHER TEK PRODUCTION... THE FIRST AMIGA DEMO IN 18 YEARS IN FACT. AS USUAL, AS IS THE CASE WITH THE ELECTRONIC KNIGHTS, THE END WORLDS IN A SCROLLER.. THERE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ANOTHER EFFECT OR TEXT AT THE TOP, BUT WE DIDN'T MANAGE TO GET SOMETHING WORTHWILE RUNNING AT THE PARTY... SO WHO CARES THAT IT IS A BIT EMPTY AS LONG AS THERE IS A SCROLLER. CRANKER WAS CREATED RATHER SPONTANEOUSLY BECAUSE THERE ARE NOT MANY WAYS TO APPROPRIATELY CRUNCH ONEFILE DEMOS FOR THE AMIGA 500... IF THE DEMOS ARE REALLY LARGE, THE DEMO AND THE CRUNCHED DATA MAY NOT FIT INTO MEMORY AT THE SAME TIME, OR DECRUNCHING IS WAY TOO SLOW. CRANKER IS JUST THE OPPOSITE OF SHRINKLER, IT DOESN'T CRUNCH THAT GOOD, BUT IT IS FOCUSED ON SPEED AND NOT ALLOCATING EXTRA MEMORY. IT REALLY DECRUNCHES WHILE LOADING. IT LOADS ABOUT TWICE AS FAST AS ANY OTHER SOLUTION, BE IT UNPACKED OR CRUNCHED WITH ANY OTHER CRUNCHER. THE DECRUNCH HEADER IS AVAILABLE AS SOURCE CODE AND THE CRUNCHER HAS AN OPTION TO INCLUDE A CUSTOM HEADER, SO YOU CAN CREATE YOUR OWN LOADER OR DECRUNCHER, E.G. FOR DISPLAYING A PROGRESS BAR OR SHOWING AN OSoFRIENDLY EFFECT WHILE LOADING. OF COURSE THAT STILL NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED, BUT THIS IS POSSIBLE, BECAUSE CRANKER SENDS JOBS TO THE OS TO LOAD IN THE BACKGROUND. THE FOREGROUND IS FREE FOR YOUR CODE... ANYWAY... THE CREDITS AGAIN: EVERYTHING BY BIFAT EXCEPT FOR THE LOGO THAT WAS MADE BY PLASMA 23 YEARS AGO. IT'S STILL GOOD, ESPECIALLY IF YOU DON'T HAVE SOMETHING ELSE... WARP NOW!
