                  "umod.wcx" plugin for Total Commander
=============================================================================

Hi everybody, who is interested in this file!!! :)

You are reading a documentation of Total Commander's umod.wcx plugin. I was
making it as fast as I could, so it rather has (:P) some bugs. In other way
it should work rather good.

Why I made it? Because I needed it :P
I was looking for plugin like that for several months, but I haven't found it
(there wasn't plugin like this in http://www.totalcmd.net/ or - no longer
available http://clubtotal.free.fr/ and the http://www.totalcmd.pl/
haven't existed yet). I lost my patience and I started to
looking for any open source program, which can open UMOD files. At least
I had found Luigi's Auriemma's (see http://aluigi.altervista.org/) "umodext"
program.
Then I used its sources and UMOD file description (from umod.txt file) to
write my very own UMOD plugin :D

This plugin is as always available under GNU General Public License
(see COPYING.txt), but the sources aren't currently available online.
But if you are interested in development of this plugin I will provide the
sources to you if you ask nicely via e-mail.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Features:
 - opening UMOD (Unreal MOD) archives
 - extracting from UMOD archives
 - this plugin can't (and won't) create UMOD archives
 - support for creating UMOD files using UCC.EXE (see
   "System\!make UMOD.bat" in archive)

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Files used when writing this plugin:
 - WCX Writer's Reference.hlp (description of WCX format from
   http://www.ghisler.com/)
 - wcxhead.h (a header for WCX plugins)
 - umod.txt (UMOD file description written by Luigi Auriemma)
 - umodcrc.h (made by Luigi Auriemma)
 - umodext.c (made by Luigi Auriemma)

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Known and unknown bugs :D
 - rather those unknown :P
 - wrong filesize of "! make UMOD.bat" showed in TC
 - the plugin doesn't support Unicode, but as far as I know neither does
   the UMOD format so it shouldn't be a problem

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Thanks to:
 - Christian Ghisler for writing Total Commander
 - Luigi Auriemma for writing "UMOD file format 0.2" file, "umodext"
   program and for help with some bugs, see:
   http://aluigi.altervista.org/papers.htm#unreal
 - myself, for patience and writing this plugin (at last I've got plugin that
   opens UMOD's!!! Yeah!!! :-D)
