This archive contains two AmosPro programs that will shrink, squash,
squeeze, and squish your files and banks into extremely small compressed
files, in two very different ways:

BobSquasher.Amos
  This program compresses bobs just like Squash-A-Bob, but is much
  improved over its predecesor.  It features:
  
    * Auto Compression of all bobs in Bank 1 (when used as an
      Accessory)
    * Storage of the palette in the compressed file...no more "noting
      the colors of the bobs"...
    * Speed.  The decompressor can unpack 55 bobs in about three
      seconds.
      
XPKPack.Amos (requires util/pack/XPK25USR.LHA and Easylife (kind of!))
  This program uses XPK, the standard for eXternal PacKing.  It is a
  great improvement over the XPK commands in Easylife (which thrashed
  memory upon loading...sorry, Paul!), and includes a great GUI to
  pack files just for storage and procedures to pack banks for
  loading directly into programs.  It also:
  
  * Lists all of the available packers and their different modes
  * Runs as an Accessory
  * Has a great non-Interface GUI
  * Accesses XPK cleanly and efficently
  
Both programs are FREEWARE...use them, examine them, learn from them,
improve on them, yakety schmakety...

Enjoy!
