 SCI0 packer v0.1a - Dark Fiber
 Wai Wai!! Sugoi! My frist SCI0 util!!


 Basic Overview
 Because in the early days of SCI0 development and distribution,
 CD's did not exist... thus files came on 360 and 1.2mb diskettes.
 And with bigger games meant more diskettes.  Also not everyone
 had a lot of space on their hard disk, so games could be played from
 floppy.  To reduce the amount of disk swapping occuring, most of the
 core files (character animation, graphics for the surrounding map, etc)
 were duplicated across disks which leads to multiple images of character
 animation etc.

 What this program does is go through all the resource files and strip
 out duplicates and packing all the resources into one file instead
 of multiple files.

 Usage
 Packer {source_directory}

 If no source directory is give, the current directory is used.
 eg:

 packer /games/sierra/sci0/colonels-bequest-631


 Caution
 Packer erases the original resource.map and all resource.0* files
 and replaces them with its own resource.map and resource.000 file.

 Tested
 I've test this on Colonels Bequest (360kb disk release) and Kings
 Quest 4 (360kb disk release) and Kings Quest 4 (720kb disk release)
 and had no problems....
