R E. OUR NEW PACKER/UNPACKER..
BY SCOTT E. RESH.. THE IDEA FOR
A NEW (I.E. BETTER!).PACKER/UNPACKER COM
BINATION CAME TO.ME ONE DAY. I WAS GOIN
G THROUGH THE.LONG, TEDIOUS, MONOTONOUS,
AND PAINFUL.OLD PACKER PROCESS. I THOU
GHT TO.MYSELF "THERE HAS TO BE A BETTER
WAY.TO DO THIS!"... TA-DA! THE BIRTH
OF TWO NEW.SYMBIOTIC PROGRAMS - "SHAPE T
HAT BABY".AND "UNPACKER.89". SHAPE THAT
BABY IS.A GEOS PROGRAM. UNPACKER.89 WO
RKS IN.THE "NATIVE" MODE OF THE C64...
THE NEW PACKER WILL PACK ADVANCED.OCP A
RT STUDIO, KOALA, AND DOODLE!.PICTURES.
WHILE IN GEOS, OPEN A DISK.CONTAINING "
SHAPE THAT BABY" AND.DOUBLE-CLICK ON THE
"SHAPE THAT BABY".ICON. A DIALOG BOX W
ILL APPEAR WITH.A LISTING OF NON-GEOS (I
.E. NORMAL.C64) FILES. CHOOSE YOUR PICT
URE, THEN.OPEN IT. SHAPE THAT BABY WILL
.AUTOMATICALLY DETECT THE FORMAT OF.YOU
R PICTURE AND DISPLAY THAT INFO.WHILE LO
ADING IN YOUR PICTURE. AFTER.YOUR PICTU
RE IS LOADED, IT WILL BE.DISPLAYED. A T
INY DIALOG BOX WILL.APPEAR ASKING "IMAGE
OK?". CLICK ON.YES OR NO. IF YES WAS
SELECTED, YOUR.PICTURE WILL BE PACKED AN
D YOU WILL.BE PROMPTED FOR A FILENAME...
AFTER PACKING A PICTURE, THE NEXT.THI
NG TO DO IS WRITE A SMALL PROGRAM.TO DIS
PLAY THE PACKED PICTURE... UNPACKER.89
IS VERY EASY TO USE..TWO "LOADS", THREE
POKES AND TWO SYSS.ARE ALL THAT IS NEED
ED TO DISPLAY A.PACKED PICTURE... ON T
HE NEXT PAGE IS A SAMPLE.PROGRAM USED TO
DISPLAY PACKED.PICTURES. HOWEVER, IF Y
OU'D LIKE TO.SEE A VERSION OF THE PROGRA

NGTHY PROGRAM WASN'T.IT!? AFTER THE SYS
51456, THE THREE.VALUES THAT WERE POKED
INTO MEMORY.ARE STILL THERE. THEY DO NO
T GET.DESTROYED. THE SYS51459 USED TO.D
ISPLAY THE PICTURE, LOOKS AT THESE.BYTES
TO DETERMINE WERE TO FIND THE.PICTURE T
O DISPLAY. IT'S POSSIBLE TO.UNPACK A PI
CTURE, MOVE IT, AND.DISPLAY THE PICTURE
AT IT'S NEW.LOCATION... THE GEOPROGRAM
MER PACKAGE WAS USED.TO CREATE BOTH SHAP
E THAT BABY AND.UNPACKER.89. THE SOURCE
CODE FOR.BOTH PROGRAMS IS SMALL. HOWEV
ER, DUE.TO AVAILABLE DISK SPACE, THE SOU
RCE.FILES ARE NOT INCLUDED ON THIS DISK.
.. ALTHOUGH, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE
.A COPY OF THE SOURCE FILES (IN.GEOWRITE
2.1 FORMAT), YOU ARE.ENCOURAGED TO WRIT
