|    self dissolving files    |
|    05 May 16 19:35:57    |
      I had been reading some docs in the High Voltage SID collection (Craig       Chamberlain ones) that mentions the self dissolving files,       one comes to mind: .SDA but I just dont remember the other extension?              Were these actually Library files or different?              Self dissolving archives were used with packing a small amount of SID files, I       assume other files can be packed, but what are tye limitations?              I assume the .SDA can be created right on a C64/C128, the way Craig       Chamberlain talked was there a program in any of the utilities       in the Enhanced SID collection? If so what program.              I assume not very many files could be archived in SDA. (Im not referring to       unpacking thats easy, creating the .SDA).              These you run as a .prg then use a blank disk to dissolve the files onto.              Was curious about these was wondering if any older Enthusiasts know about this       process?              Thanks,              traymond              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: Agency HUB, Dunedin - New Zealand | Fido<>Usenet Gateway (3:770/3)    |
