Command: ambpack
AMBPACK is an archiver that packs/unpacks AMB (Ancient Machine Book)
files.
Syntax:
ambpack uc filename.amb foldername
ambpack cc foldername filename.amb
Options:
uc Unpacks the amb file to a directory with ama files.
cc Packs ama files from a directory to an amb file.
Run ambpack without arguments for usage help.
Comments:
When unpacking the amb file to a folder of your choice you get a lot of
ama files which are in UTF-8-BOM with UNIX LF (line feed) or CF/LF.
The title is an own file without ending, the text inside should not be
longer than 64 characters. You can edit the ama files with each UTF-8
editor. Additionally there is a file unicode.map inside the folder which
enables it to switch from e.g. codepage850 to UTF-8 and back. For more
information about creating the unicode.map file see UTF8TOCP, for more
about the AMB internals see AMBHELP.
Examples:
ambpack uc helpde.amb helpgr
(unpacks the amb FILE helpde.amb to a FOLDER helpgr)
ambpack cc helpen helpeng.amb
(packs the ama files in the FOLDER helpen to FILE helpeng.amb)
