Storm Amos Cruncher V2.0b 1993 Ejber Ozkan This program will let you crunch any file into a much smaller file and when you need to use that file again you can decrunch it using this program again. As you may be aware this program bears a remarkable resemblance to another certain PACKER! (Even down to the colours on the menu!).The program was written this way to show the capabilities of AMOS! and also to help me learn how to use the amos menu system.As you can see I havent done at all bad!. However the crunched files will NOT decrunch by themselves!. To use click the right mouse button and select a menu option. The menu options are :-) Project ------- Load File... Use this option to load a file to crunch By selecting your choice using the AMOS 1.34 file requestor. Save File... Use this option to save a crunched file once crunching is complete. Delete File... This option will let you delete a choosen file from a disk. About... This option will scroll some information in the system window. Quit... This option will bring up a requestor asking whether you are sure to quit. The requestor is the first in a long line of amos extras that Im currently working on!.It works in the same way as the ReqTools Library but uses procedures instead.!You can even move the requestor box around the screen By Clicking on the border woith the left mouse button and repositioning. Prefs ----- To detonate that an option is selected you will see a tick by the side of the option currently in use. Data file... This is the default this will load any file into memory using the binary load ,And will then crunch!. Amos compiled file... This will let you crunch Amos compiled files.This uses the same system as the Amos compiler program.So If it doesnt work proparly dont blame me!. Decrunch Colour... Will let you choose which colour use when (de)crunching. From a Choice of:- Colour 0 Colour 1 Colour 2 Colour 3 Efficiency... Will let you choose the cunching speed of the program.Generally speaking the Slower the crunch the smaller the file. Choose from:-) Slow Mediocre Normal Fast Very Fast Screen Prefs... Will Let you change the Palette of the screen.Using the same system as in the S.I.I.T program.With the exception that the PreS icon will flick through a PRESET list of colours. Recrunch -------- Load and Decrunch Data File... This will Load a file that was previuosly crunched by the Storm cruncher. Once the program is loaded it will decrunch it ready to save in its original state.Please note that any file crunched not using the Storm Cruncher will Most probably cause havoc to your system!. Save Decrunched Data File... Will save a program previously decrunched into its original state on to disk. Clicking on the backpage gadget will move you out of the program and into CLI.

I hope this is of some use to you.The program source code is included in the AMOSCODE directory so please feel free to examine it!.
