LZX 1.21 packing.....

BarrySWE · 28 October 2005, 08:55

When archiving alot of files... he reload LZX command all the time. why?
i have plenty of memory ;-) can i make him crunch salot of files before reload... but how?

mr_0rga5m · 28 October 2005, 11:34

Why does it matter .. You've a lotta ram so no probs .. Or copy the lzx exe to ram:

BarrySWE · 28 October 2005, 16:17

i have read the guide now.. i can increase the size of memory usage + a qf option to compress faster..

BarrySWE · 28 October 2005, 20:32

LZX -bo2048 -qf -x -e af barry.lzx
Does the trick

Yes, but sometimes the manual are a little bit confusing.. english language sometimes is a little bit hard ;-)

Slayer · 30 October 2005, 01:31

manual or not you still didn't tweak it for max compression, this is the string I worked out for lzxing many years ago. Still existing in my SID button.

c:LZX -a -e -Qf -r -Y -9 af

these days I use tar and bz2, a side benefit? of using geekgadgets too long and besides... LZX isn't very good at archiving 100s of megs at one time...

BarrySWE · 30 October 2005, 16:44

-9 slows it down alot... but hey a little bit smaller size

but what is -Y -r -a ? better check the guide.. =)

DoctorQ · 30 October 2005, 18:03

Yeah, for a change....

Keep you comment for yourself, Im getting sick and tired of you.

While it is true BarrySWE asks a heck of a lot of questions DrQ he is a relative NEWBIE to ALL things Amiga

So what may seem to you like silly questions are in fact reflecting the fact we are NO LONGER in a time when there are Amiga magazines and guides to help out beginers

Considering you already gave the RTFM point, earlier in this thread pulling the extra comment in your last post could not be considered less than provocative to BarrySWE

Now do I have to close this thread because one of you is making this seem personal ?

I should hope not

@woody57

Fair enough, I'm just a bit annoid by people not even bothering to read through the docs that is following the software they are using, or doing a little search on the internet, or even do a little thinking of them selves.

I believe I'm entitled to my oppinions, if I'm not, then this is certainly not the place for me to be.

Bamiga2002 · 31 October 2005, 11:10

Little bit offtopic but someone willing & able to do a PPC LZX port?

woody57 · 31 October 2005, 11:21

This board NEEDs informed opinions DoctorQ and your assitance across the many threads you have posted in has been invaluable to a large number of this sites regular vistors.

I defend your RIGHT to state that too many enquiries are made because people are eiether too lazy to use the COMMON search engines YAHOO, GOOGLE etc to find theri answer or havent bothered to look at the "READ ME " files included in most Amiga software.

For most of us who were with this machine from its begining we were involved in a learning curve, that meant "We did not expect" software to be simply single eazy settings , because with the Amiga OS we were able to tailor so many things to our preferences, thats what attracted us to stay with it customisation.

New users have been enroled from M$,s myth of "Plug & Play" and are clueless where to look for the information we took as part of the package to be explored .

In short I,m saying I agree with your stance on this subject and understand your anger, and as you personaly know have previously complained over things that wound me up as well, so there is room here for a wide range of opinion as LONG as its about Amiga & not personalities

mr_0rga5m · 31 October 2005, 12:42

FFS sometimes its easier to ask than rtfm and have to work out the optimum settings yourself .. this is what this forum is here for afterall .. so DoctorQ if you dont like ppl asking what you've already seen the answer too beforehand, dont look(read) .. simple

And Woody57 .. stop typing up long essays man .. i'm at work and dont have time to read your involved replies ! :P

(or perhaps i should not look(read))

woody57 · 31 October 2005, 12:50

Mr Orgasm

is that short enough

Slayer · 31 October 2005, 14:35

there is a partial port as in...

warpos unlzx...

in the readme it includes PPC

http://main.aminet.net/util/arc/UnLzxWOS.lha

but I assume you're more interested in the compressing not the uncompressing...

do you have a link to the source?

maybe a tinker with vbcc warpos is in order?

Bamiga2002 · 31 October 2005, 15:00

I was interested in compressing mostly, dunno any link to the source, so that could be a problem porting :/ ...

Sure a ppc version would be nice to have but the 680x0 version works ok, i'm just after the speed increase
