-----
Turbo Imploder 3.1 - Peter Struijk and Albert J. Brouwer formerly Discovery (c)
compacts executable code. Highly efficent and super fast! Even plays music
while U wait!
-----
The Imploder allows you to reduce the size of executable files while letting
them retain full functionality. There are other "crunchers" or "packers"
available for the Amiga, but none are as mindful of the complexities of your
Amiga system as the Imploder. In addition to this, its algorithms are more
efficient, both in terms of speed, and size reduction.
Basic operation is clicking and using pull-down menus. If you can't figure
it out, you're not likely to be in need of using the Imploder anyway.
Though operating the Imploder isn't hard, the complexities of the Amiga
give rise to the need for imploding different types of executable files in
a number of different ways. This, and how to modify the various settings in
order to effectuate proper behaviour is explained below.
Please note that not reading the manual won't inhibit you from using the
Imploder; it automatically detects, and reacts to almost all exceptions,
and for the vast majority files it suffices to just hit the "Proceed" gadget
after loading has finished. However, if you want to make optimal use of the
Imploder's capabilties, you should consult the section below.
Also in this manual are datailed descriptions of the "explode.library" and
the "FInf" utility. Enjoy.

Note: if you've been using PowerPacker.. check out the Imploder.
You'll be amazed at what this thing can do. Be sure to read the rest
of the .doc file as although Impoder is insanely easy to use it has
some features which won't be immediately obvious.
