hi guys,

just wanted to implement packed levels into Boinxx and it seems that my FP21 does not work with atari800win40?

when i am scrolling down and try to mark a file to pack it is always "dos.sys"???? the filename is going with the cursor down?

any ideas what i am doing wrong?

is there a pc tool i can use instead? the packer i was looking for must not work in realtime... the levels in boinxx will be prepacked and by entering a new level depacked into a special level buffer... i was thinking of using fox' flashpack instead of the slow and memory wasting bewersoft's superpacker...

which packer are you using for your own games?

thanks!

much easier to read than the numen equivalent... so i can zip the boinxx levels easily with winzip and depack it with this routine?

Hmm. On my emulator everything works fine (I mean FP 2.1)...

I am not sure about the winzip , but deflate.asm works like a charm on unix-gzipped files. HTH

mikey... i made a simple test but it does not work?

i packed with gzip a small 960 byte screen with gzip -9 test.scr
and then depacked it with

a=usr($6500,$9000,dpeek(88))


init    pla
    pla            ;hi byte of dest
    sta outputPointer+1
    pla
    sta outputPointer
    pla
    sta inputPointer+1
    pla
    sta inputPointer
    jsr inflate
    rts
inflate
    mvy    #1    getBit_hold
    bne    inflate_2    !
...

i thought this should work?

as far as I remember - I didn't use -9, perhaps it implies non-deflate format.
