  Ver:0.79a0         HPACK - Multi-System Archiver            1 May 1993
                     -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-


  The HPACK Multi-System Archiver is an archiver  that  was  written  to
  allow the transfer of archived data to different systems. In the  past
  archivers have traditionally been available for single  systems  only,
  for example PKZIP(tm) and LHARC for the IBM PC, Larc  for  the  Amiga,
  StuffIt(tm) and Compactor for the Macintosh, and tar and compress  for
  UNIX systems (while these archivers are available  on  other  systems,
  their use is not widespread). It is intended  to  make  HPACK  a  more
  universal  archiver   by   offering   versions   for   the   following
  environments:

    * Apple IIgs (planned)
    * Archimedes
    * Atari ST
    * Commodore Amiga
    * Microsoft Windows
    * Macintosh
    * MSDOS
    * OS/2 (16 and 32-bit versions)
    * OS/2 Presentation Manager (currently in development)
    * Primos (planned)
    * UNIX
    * VMS (currently in development)
    * Any other system which people offer to port it to

  Currently Bavarian, Dutch, English, German, Italian, Polish,  Spanish,
  and Swiss German versions of  HPACK  using  the  ASCII,  IBM  PC,  IBM
  Codepage 850, IBM Codepage 869,  ISO  8859-1  (Latin  1),  ISO  8859-2
  (Latin 2), ISO 8859-3 (Latin 3),  ISO  8859-4  (Latin  4),  Macintosh,
  Mazovia, and NeXTSTEP character sets exist.
