                  DOCUMENTATION FOR "PACK" AND "UNPACK"
                  -------------------------------------

PACK is an amazing program from Europe which will take almost any executable
program, pack it, and create a new runnable program which is much smaller
than the original.  PACK will usually create a new file which is on average
about 50% of its original size, although file size will vary depending upon
the program being packed and its original size.  This utility is great for
anyone short on disk space (who isn't!) and will also greatly shorten the
load time of large programs run from floppy disk.  Beware, some files
(especially small files or previously packed programs) can become larger in
size when packed, so keep an eye on the resulting file size.  Almost any    
program can be packed, but there are a few which might not work if packed so
you should be sure to test your packed programs before removing the original.
Pack only files with the following extensions: .PRG, .TOS, .TTP, .APP.
Following a successful packing, the original file size, the new file size,
and the packed program size as a percentage of the original size is shown.

UNPACK, the companion to PACK, will unpack any file which has been previously
packed.
