+This the unix port of the Amiga XPK library.
+
+The XPK system consists of a master library (libxpkmaster.so) and several
+(un)packer sublibraries (libxpkXXXX.so). Application programs only use the
+master library directly: the master library takes care of loading and using
+the sublibraries. Each sublibrary implements one type of compression.
+
+There are different libraries for different types of data. When unpacking the
+applications do not need to know which library was used to pack the data -
+the appropriate library needs to be installed.
