This comes into place rather frequently if you buy a license to sell your products with ProDOS 16, which has to have the different data files in a particular structure. Another thing that really seperates it from the other disk packing products is that the ProDOS implementations of it have NUMEROUS safety valves built-in so that one doesn't trash a partition on one's eighty meg hard drive because one has someone at the computer trying to unpack a disk using Propacker 5.3c! (Yes, lost 30 megs of data on this one folks!).
