Refutation

Sysop IMPART BBS Dedicated to Ivan Savin. Hello, ALL! Today I climbed the above mentioned station, downloaded the file_list and saw there what phrase: > PCD v6.1~B -The best screen packer > and code blocks! Packs better > than MS-PACK! In short Rulez! ;) And I decided to tell everyone the thoughts that visited me me after reading this phrase. > PCD v6.1~B -The best screen packer If you don't know, don't tell me! Back in 91 [I think] year there was a program called ASC SCREEN SCRASHER which presses screens much better than PCD_v6.1, by the way written in 1996 year. And not later than at the beginning of autumn appeared The program RUINER SCREEN DESTROYER was launched, the author of which is your humble servant- ha [you mean]. When writing RSD, I wrote set myself the task of achieving even more than ASC data compression ratio, and this is successful for me - moose While working on RSD, I was There is a sign, which I will give below. In principle, I “struggled” with ASC, but constantly new rumors that PCD is the best "pa- screensmith" made me check and him. The myth of the coolness of PCD [like screen opti- mizer'a] was debunked. And now the promised sign: ╔═══════════════╤════════ ══╤══════════╤══════════╗║Screen │ PCD_v6.1 │ ASC_v2.6 │ RSD_v1.9 ║ ╠═══════════════╪══════════╪══════════╪══════════╣ ║Death Star │ 2427 │ 1896 │ 1840 ║ ╟───────────────┼──────────┼──────────┼──────────╢ ║Cauldron │ 2452 │ 2205 │ 2083 ║ ╟───────────────┼──────────┼──────────┼──────────╢ ║Scooby Doo │ 3839 │ 3364 │ 3225 ║ ╟───────────────┼──────────┼──────────┼──────────╢ ║Exolon │ 2573 │ 1986 │ 1749 ║ ╟───────────────┼──────────┼──────────┼──────────╢ ║Barbarian │ 4305 │ 3922 │ 3777 ║ ╟───────────────┼──────────┼──────────┼──────────╢ ║Bubbler │ 2113 │ 1879 │ 1653 ║ ╟───────────────┼──────────┼──────────┼──────────╢ ║Feud │ 3103 │ 2494 │ 2400 ║ ╟───────────────┼──────────┼──────────┼──────────╢ ║Meganova │ 5812 │ 5240 │ 5361 * ║ ╟───────────────┼──────────┼──────────┼──────────╢ ║Lords of Chaos │ 5838 │ 5201 │ 4872 ║ ╚═══════════════╧══════════╧══════════╧══════════╝ * - нет в мире совершенства Кто не верит, пусть проверит, и заодно сообщит мне цифры [ это если вдруг будете сравнивать другие картинки ]. Едем дальше. > и кодовых блоков! Пакует лудше Что лучше это вроде бы да. Hо вот паку- ет ли? Упаковка подразумевает 100% сохран- ность информации, а про PCD такого сказатьit is forbidden. For example, I don’t use PCD reason that every 4-5 files is simply does not unpack [2Evgeniy Muchkin is not a glitch, but an error in the program! ], and what happens inside those files that are still unpacked, unknown not only to me, but also to God [ maybe KSA knows? ]. > than MS-PACK! In short Rulez! ;) MS-PACK. Well, not the worst packaging - shield, and glitches somewhat less frequently. That's just it takes a very long time to pack, but there are still glitches there are. I don't know today _not_a_packer who guarantees there would be 100% security of information. I worked with PCD, MS-PACK, LPC, TRUSH [or what's his name]. I recently got DSQ, about non- I can't say anything bad yet [ haven’t checked yet], except for the creepy inter- face. I'm afraid I'll have to write my own, otherwise got tired of climbing in HONEY COMMANDER and compared download the unpacked file with the original. With best withes, Ruiner. P.S. I can guarantee the operation of RSD only ko on Scorpion ZS-256 turbo+. Since oh They didn’t tell me anything about the glitches.

Hello Vladimir! Wed Nov 26 1997, Vladimir Larkov concocted a letter to Michael Kondratyev: MK>> it depends. ;) I haven’t had it for long, and the glitches are fixed (and are they fixed? MK>> eh, comrade Larkov?) VL> No. Packs, but does not unpack. more specifically? With best wishes, Michael.
