Description-en: decompression routines for ancient formats
This is a collection of decompression routines for old formats popular in the
Amiga, Atari computers and some other systems from 80's and 90's as well as
some that are currently used which were used in a some specific way in these
old systems.
.
For simple usage both a simple command line application as well as a simple
API to use the decompressors are provided. The compression algorithm is
automatically detected in most cases, however there are some corner cases
where it is not entirely reliable due to weaknesses in the old format used.
