Athena Packager / Installer



http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=612

The packager / installer pair Athena is here to make distributing really large BASIC games a bit easier. Features on-computer packaging abilities which compresses and consolidates the vast amount of subprograms, pictures, and whatnots into an archive.

From the calculator side, send prgmATHENA, along with the files that the PC program generates and it will unpack these files to either your FlashROM or RAM, depending on how the file was generated. Once installation is under way, it's mostly automatic.

Make it easy on the end user to install large games! Pick Athena for your packaging / installing needs!

( Please, for the love of all that is good, read ALL the readme files )

EDIT1: Fixed checksum error problem.

Sweet a release!  This is such an epic packaging program, it really makes installing large games so much easier :D  Are you going to upload it to tiCalc?

I really need to give this a try at one point. I just had too much to deal with recently. X.x

This will revolutionarize the world of old large games with multiple files.
