The Library format
Disclaimer: The description below is a mere extrapolation from the files I
have encountered. Note that there is another Library format under CP/M which
is completely different and is not discussed here.
The Library archive format has a structure that is similar to the Lynx
format. The archives start with a 'DWB' signature (probably the monogram of
the author), a number showing the number of files inside the archive. Then
comes the directory, followed by the files themselves. Library archives are in
no way compressed, the files are simply linked after each other in it. Unlike
in Lynx and Arkive archives, no file is aligned to a sector boundary.
All entries, strings and other parts of the directory are separated with a
carriage return. All numbers are stored in a string form which starts and ends
with a space.
An example for an archive start would be like this:
DWB 13 <CR>
which means this is a valid Library archive and there are 13 files in it.
Entries in the directory are made up by the file name, the file type and the
length of the file in bytes, e.g.
HASHMON<CR>P<CR> 4098 <CR>
means that the current file is called "hashmon", it is a program and it is
4098 bytes long.
