Archives for Use with ArcFS & CfsReader


This is a demonstration of the two LZW compression programs reviewed in this month's magazine, namely ArcFS and Compression. Running this application opens up a directory viewer containing a directory 'Compressn' (which contains 3 sprites in Compression compressed format) and an archive file 'Sprites' (which contains the 3 sprites in ArcFS compressed format). For details of how to decompress them, read the help for ArcFS or Compression.

The two sprites 'ROS3pic1' and 'ROS3pic2' are screendumps from the new RISC OS 3 Desktop, and the sprite 'EliteScrn' is a screendump of the Archimedes version of Elite, from Hybrid. Note that the sprite 'ROS3pic2' was saved from the A5000 in a multisync mode (mode 27). This means that it will not be displayed exactly as it looks on an A5000.
