PowerPacker (also spelled Power Packer or Power-Packer) is a file compression utility and compressed file format for Amiga computers. It was developed by Nico François, and distributed as shareware.
[edit] Identification
PowerPacker files apparently begin with ASCII "PP", followed by a two-digit version number. Known signatures are "PP11" and "PP20".
The reverse-engineered source suggests that password-protected files begin with "PX20".
