Shrinkit for Unix???
I just posted a few minutes ago inquiring about C source to sciibin. I'm
going to push my luck a little here... Is there C source for Shrinkit? More
specifically, is there a package out there that will take a NuFix (sp?)
format file and break it up into seperate components on a standard unix
platform. What I'm trying to do is read the docs of the yo yo duck program
that was posted to the bin news group a few days ago. I know, I could always
just ask the poster for a text copy of the docs, but that could become a
pain when I ftp docs from around the net. Having the ability to unarchive
the text/awp files from within a .shk file to a standard text file (with or
without the ^M->^J/^N conversion - I have written these filters in my sleep)
would be _really_ nice. That way I could *quickly* scan the docs on a relatively
quick Sparc work station and then decide if I want to waste time download over
100K of archives to my ][e (using only a 2400bps modem) and then unarchiving
them to the proper bin files.
