INSTALLATION Copy Nibble and Denibble to your C: folder. DESCRIPTION The Nibbler data compression and decompression software was written by Henrik Erlandsson and is Copyright ⌐ 2013 bitBrain Studios. All rights reserved. It works like other compressors except decompression speed surpasses 150KB/s, which is typically more than 5 times faster than conventional compressors. This makes it useful for on-the-fly decompression of graphics and audio, or any applications requiring or wanting quick decompression, such as compressing executables to be run from floppy. Compression ratios are comparable to lha, unlike conventional compressors used for such purposes. LICENSE Everyone is free to copy and distribute this package to anyone, on the condition that the package is unmodified and includes this license. The executables in this package are free for non-commercial use on the Commodore Amiga only. The decompression source and binary is free for use as part of demo productions on the Commodore Amiga only. For all other uses, read/get your license at bitbrain.se. USAGE Nibble is used to compress a file to another file, adding the .nib suffix. Denibble is used to decompress a .nib file, removing the suffix. Each command has options, to see them run them from the command line without parameters. Note: Denibble has a special option to execute whatever has been decompressed. The executable must not be an object file, it must be relocatable, and it will be decompressed to any type of memory available.
