>Hi,
>I have noticed a few posts inquiring how to pack Snetterton into a data
>file, so i have put together a simple instruction set, i hope it helps.

>Firstly, you will need the two utilities, Pack.exe & Unpack.exe..

>Copy all the files out of your GPL\Tracks\Snett folder into a temporary
>folder, i called mine:  Snettemp

>Now you have to use a text editor,  like , Notepad,  to make up a "PCK
>" file, which holds all the file names that are to be included into the
>"snett.dat" file..
>Also, you will need to add up the file names you include in the "PCK"
>file and insert that number into the "PCK" file,  like in the example i
>have made below.

>Or if you are too lazy to make up your own "PCK" file, then you could
>just use my "PCK" file i made up for myself and included here for
>reference.
>The first line of your "PCK" file MUST be:  "snett.dat"  without the
>rabbit ears, and the following line has to be the number of files you
>have included in your  "PCK"  text file..

>TAKE NOTE, if you use my "PCK" file, i deleted all the default setups
>from the "Snett" folder, so if you wish to retain the default setup
>files, the files that read: "setup.lo1",  "setup.lo2", "setup.lo3"  
>etc etc, you will need to add them to my "PCK" file..
>( don't forget to add the revised number to the "262" )
>However, those setup files are not needed, as GPL defaults to a
>standard default setup if there are no setup files located in the
>specific track folder and i prefer to make my own setups anyway...

>So to continue, using the text editor, open up a new text file called:
>"snett.pck"   and add all the file names in the  "snettemp"  folder to
>it, other than the following files, don't add these..

>cntr_lod2.mip
>cntr_wall1.mip
>cntr_wall2.mip
>maxrace.lp
>minrace.lp
>pass1.lp
>pass2.lp
>pit.lp
>race.lp
>record.ini
>track.ini

>The above files are best left in the  GPL\Tracks\Snett  folder.

>Don't try packing or including files\filenames into your "PCK" file
>that have 8 digit or longer file names,  you will be most upset at the
>resulting errors that you produce..   :)

>Below is the first few lines from my "snett.pck" file, to give you an
>example of how to start it..

>snett.dat
>262
>8treea.3do
>8treea1.mip

>The  "262"  is the total ammount of the files that i wanted to pack
>into my  "snett.dat"  file after i repacked it.
>The number  "262"  has to add up to the total ammount of file names you
>have entered into the  "snett.pck"  txt file, don't count the first
>line "snett.dat" or the "262" line  in your total file count...

>After you have entered all the filenames into your  "snett.pck"  file,
>add up the ammount of filenames you have in your "snett.pck" file and
>enter that number where i have my number of "262",  then save it into
>the "snetttemp" folder you just made up and exit from Notepad.

>Make sure you have the file "Pack.exe" in your path statement, or copy
>it into the  "snetttemp" folder before you go to the next step.

>Open up a dos shell  and go to the "snettemp" folder and type:

>pack snett.pck    [ENTER]

>That will pack all the files that you added to the  "snett.pck" file
>into a file called:  snett.dat.

>Now, go to the GPL\Tracks\Snett  folder and delete all files from that
>folder except for the following, these should remain in the
>GPL\Tracks\Snett  folder:

>cntr_lod2.mip
>cntr_wall1.mip
>cntr_wall2.mip
>maxrace.lp
>minrace.lp
>pass1.lp
>pass2.lp
>pit.lp
>race.lp
>record.ini
>track.ini

>When you have done that, copy the file "snett.dat"  that you just
>created, from the  "Snettemp" folder into the GPL\Tracks\Snett  folder.

>You should now have a total of 12 files in your GPL\Tracks\Snett
>folder, rather than the 260 odd you did have..

>Hope that helps a bit.
