principies
---------------------------------------- PRINCIPIES OF PACKERS ---------------------------------------- here you can find a pretty good and detailed information how to program packers and crunchers by yourself. next part can be read in issue #13!! it was written by BACCHUS of FAIRLIGHT compression is something everyone in the scene knows at least something about. one of the things that pisses me off is the lack of standardization in the names choosen for the method of compression. this time i'll explain everything you should know about CHARACTERPACKING or char packing for short! examples on this category show a vast range of names: ebc (equal byte compressor), zipper beeftrucker, charblaster, denser, rowcruncher, nsu cruncher, byg-compacker xtc-packer and our own x-terminator, to name but a few. some feature an option tto merge parts into one big file by packing them as datablocks. examples here are: psq-link, blockbuster, link & crunch, crosslink and sledgehammer. these are really lousy packers and shouldn't be used unless you TRULY have nothing else to use! charpacking is a way to pack long rows of equal bytes into a short sequence, that will start signaling to the deppacker that it is a sequence to be interpreted, rather than part of the data. WHAT MAKES A CHARPACKER GOOD? well, before this i'll explain the basic principies. the simple charpacker selects a controlcode for use. this controlbyte is then used as a signal to the depakcer to interpret what comes afterwards as data for depacking. take for example the row in memory that looks like this: $32,$68,$0,$0,$0,$0,$0,$0,$0,$45,$68 say the packer than always use the $f9 byte as controlcode. it will be the substitute of the rows of zeros (or any other byte) with the sequence $f9,$xx,$yy where $f9 is the signal to the depacker, $xx is the byte and $yy is the number of bytes. the row above would then become somethin like: $32,$68,$f9,$00,$07,$45,$68 the depacker is linked as start of the file, and when run, automatically creates seven zeros from the sequence, without you even thinking of it. the problem is that $f9 might be present in the memory but is then supposed to be placed into memory, without beeing treated as a signal to the depacker. the answer is that it can't. most packers therefore use the combination $f9,$01,$f9 for representing $f9 by itself. you noticed that this sequence was actually longer that the single $f9. what kind of compression is that?? well, the point is that you are supposed to win more on the winning parts of the packer, that you loose or 'error representation' where you loose bytes! this was the really simple theory to build on! the first thing we do is not to pick a standard byte but to select the least frequent byte, so that it will be error represented as few times as possible. we therefore scan the file for this byte it is likely to be one of a small range that is less frequent, but scanning optimizes the choice! a rather new theory in this field is from 'QED/TRIANGLE' he thought of only counting the first controlbyte if there were more of them in a row. the sequence $f9,$f9,$f9 contains three bytes to be error represented. the answer is NOT, as all three will be replaced with only one error represenation! smart jan! the next thing is to opimize control bytes. why have only one controlbyte??? if we select another one, we could have one specialized for representing zeros. lots of zeros in a row like the above. the represnetation for 7 zeros would then be CB,$07 (where CB from now on is controlbyte!) this way of optimizing the row of zeros makes a packer more efficient by representing a sequence with fewer bytes but you also have to pay by beeing forced to error represent more times. the number of controlcodes that will be efficient, will be the number that can produce a plus compared to THe number of times it mus be error represented. if you win $80 bytes on cb number 5, but you loose $90 bytes error representing it, you'd live hapilly without it! for choosing the best controlbytes functions, you must analyze a large number of file with some kind of statistic program to generate a kind of database for finding the most efficient function controlbytes. EXAMPLES FOR USE cb, byte, lo, high - for representing more than 256 bytes with one controlbyte byg compacker uses this!! cb1, cbx - this is an example on how you could do to remove the normal error representation, with a new one that only uses two bytes rather than three. this takes for granted that cbx is to be represented only once. the effect on this one and qed's improvement go in the same direction and are less efficient if the other is also present! cb, byte - this one for representing three byte with only two. three byte sequences are rather common, and will produce a far better result that you first imagine. some packers have compression methods that is not actual equalbyte compression byg compacker features something called equal steps (or something like that, i don't have a version with the docspages on left...). i guess this is something like: cb, start, steps - for cb, startvalue (say $02), $08 for covering 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,$a. i don't know this, as i didn't dig into this packer, but i suppose this is the case. NOW: charpackers produces a result that is fairly uninteresting, as almost all of the files are supposed to be sequence crunched afterwards. a sequence cruncher works in a totally different way, that i intend to cover in a followup to this article. some packers seem to produce a result that can be called plain garbage (like the ebc) but after crunching, they come strong. certain packers work well with certain crunchers, and there is really no easy way to foresee this, but by testing. the ebc is especially good with the darksqueezer and zipper is best with cruelcrunch. the xtc-packer and illusion packer seem great when you see the result they produce but they loos big after crunching, no matter which cruncher you use! the only one that works great with all cruncher is FAIRLIGHT'S own X-TERMINATOR packer, which might be released to pulic rather soon! you now know most of what is important to know if you intend to make THE ULTIMATE charpacker, that will stun the world. the only way to learn more is to dig into packers by others, and check out the smart things in them, as well as experimenting with your own ideas! good luck, and remember to send me a result if your efforts succeed! BACCHUS/FAIRLIGHT
talking readers
---------------------------------------- FROM THE READERS TO THE READERS ---------------------------------------- this is an article which was kindly written by BACCHUS about a meeting in sweden last week when SNEAKERS had premiere and all old hackers met! read and ejnoy this cool report!! howdy hackers! 'RE UNIONS' is something you often come across when you passed your teens. old classes, sportteams and the lot, want to meet you again. if you've been on one, you know that you have stuff to talk about for half an hour ('what are you doing these days?') and then for the next hour you gossip about the persons, who didn't show up (which is the only good reason to go in the first place!) then they get really boring. 'RE UNIONS' for hackers has never been seen before but now it has, and this one was pure fun!! NATAS of HORIZON, for years on the mac and also one behind the organizers of the VAARBY party near stockholm, thought that the premiere of 'SNEAKERS' would be a good occasion to gather a few good friends from the old days. the thing grew, and he dug through his old contact books and suddenly he had 170 names registered on his list for those who wanted to come! WHO WHERE THERE? a lot of the really famous guys from the old days were there. amongst those: - the guys from the REAL triad were present: IXION (the old leader before jerry took over!) united crackers 'kocken' ROWDY (now in fairlight!) and the one and only: MR. Z (you could hear the buzz of the crowd and saw lots of fingers pointing at him when he was recognized by the rest of us. - W.A.S.P. (the first real group i came across when i started 'we against software protection!' nobody and sir galahad showed up. sir galahad then went to WCC (west coast crackers) and at the breakup of this group he was one of the formers of fairlight, now under the handle 'black shadow!' - FAIRLIGHT i (bacchus), who took over the leadership after strider concentrated his efforts 100% on the amiga section in 1989. the alchemist (who took over the responibility to be the main cracker after gollum!) and rowdy plus black shadow, as mentioned above. - AGILE elric, who is now a modemtrader for quartex on the amiga! karl 12 or k12, as he wants to put it nowadays, was also present with some weird friends (as usual!) i might misplace leader, if i put him among the guys who have been in agile but he was also there. - PARAGON a few dudes from paragon; amongst those necromancer (who's stupid and a great nerd!) hellraiser and a fev others. i think they are all in other groups, but they were all talking about pc these days. - SHA swedish hacking association are a bunch of real hackers who hack into boards. they got pretty famous some half a year ago, when they had hacked into a board that belonged to a company that sells 'safe logg on systems!' sha downloaded all documentations to backdoors Yn the system the company has installed. they then went to the papers offering to sell access to all boards! - HORIZON zagor and badger are twins and one of them had his girlfriend with him. also mastermind and kjer were present! - THUNDERCATS sony(who is the elder brother of mastermind/horizon) was there. he left the scene as a member of triad but has also been in horizon. he brought his girlfriend LEE! - SCIENCE 451 gaunt who then went to fairlight and named after his real family name; danko. now in censor (if they still can be seen as a living group!) also worth mentioning are the ones who had paid, but who didn't show up: 3d/triad,scc (swedish cracking crew) ale and phs/ccs (computerbrain cracking service!) phs was the author of the renown ccs-mon that all crackers used in the 80's, mr. pinge/relax, strider of fairlight, janitor/triad (both janitor and strider now live in the us) and a few others we would have wanted there. Also some newer9guys, who might be well known now,but who wasn't in the late 80's were: creeper/fhi, spirou/light (who showed up without knowing that there would be lots of others there!) jordan/antic, the twins ratpoison/noice and decoder/censor, goblin & flamingo of light, motley/genesis after the whole event we all decided to go to a pub called 'EAST'. the younger guys leaved there because the age limit there is 23 and so some guys weren't allowed to enter. this event was worth going to stockholm and i enjoyed it very much, indeed!! the next article was written by 3star of warriors of wastelands it contains a report about the scene in his country which seems 2 be pretty lame ABOUt COMPUTING IN SLOVENIA !!! here in my country is really no scene or any group and demo activity. all the guys who owe a c-64 are game players and only one guy buys games from ex-hotline and sell them to people.i think in my country are about 20.000 c-64's and it seems pretty lame to me that all those guys just playin games. anyway more than half of them are still using datasettes depending on the money. on the other hand it's no suprise that those people, who have got a bit more money,simply buy an amiga for game laming! i'm not sure for amiga and pc but as far as i know there are no groups down here. just some lamers calling themselves !!! yes there are bbs's for amiga and pc but what you could find there is like they never saw a real bbs. i don't know why is it that lame because if you take a look at other eastern countries like poland and checholowakia then i really admire them. could u imagine that i (3star) and my friend 888 are only "active" guys on c-64. we are not so economical behind other est. countries but where the hell are we? now maybe it will move something from the dead line when i'll release the 1st C64 COMPUTER MAGAZINE in slovenia. i will show a bunch of cool gfx and musics and ask people if they can code,draw or make musics, to send examples to me. i hope (i really do!) that it will be successful and some guys will send and show what they could do. otherwise it would be best to throw my computer out of the window! some time ago i contacted a man who is responsible for the articles in a paper computer magazine, and asked him if he could arrange me some place for text about 64 in his magazine.here is what he said:'if i'd start writing text about 64 then all the salesmen and shops who are still selling commodore will again say that c-64 is the best computer and then other computers like amiga,atari or pc have no chance to breakthrough'.i lost the phone and had no breath for about 10 seconds. so if somebody who is there to make users of all kinds of computers happy and satisfied talking that kind of shit then to who should i turn to??? that was one of the biggest dissapoint- ments of my life so i think it's the right thing what i have decided-to make an independet computer magazine.maybe all the work will be for nothing but i could never excuse myself if i didn't try it. someone of you will say why the fuck do you care about them. i do it at least because everyone have the right to see how much fun a c-64 could give. i think that no computer will never be so 'friendly' and creative. why else it's so much harder to make a picture, music or code on c-64. you simply don't have the hardware ailities an amiga can offer you. you have to be creative to do a good picture on 64.you are forced to put 10 more times to finish it. and why the hell we simply don't say:'why do we spend so much time on the c64?' it's up to you to decide! so we'll see maybe at the end of this year their might be a good demo or group coming from slovenia. at least i hope so. i hope you enjoyed this little article which was done by 3star of wow. it came directly from heart and think about those guys who don't even get a final cartridge in a normal computer shop. crazy, isn't it?? you won't believe it but there is one more article to come! this was written by alligator of unitrax & fairlight(s-nes & amiga) and remember i don't take responsibility about anything which is written in here!
