Readme file for the HTZ and HTZTOOL programs
--------------------------------------------

These programs are written to decompress (and create) the
.htz files used in the most recent firmware updates of
Origo routers.

Origo did not document the format of these .htz files,
but the user community has managed to come up with sufficient
information to permit this program to be written.

I do not give any warranty with these programs. If they work for
you, then fine. If they break your router or blow up your house,
then don't blame me. If you don't like these terms, then just
delete the programs and DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THEM.

The source code is in Pascal. It is included in the package. You
can compile the source code for htztool with 32-bit versions of
Delphi and with Virtual Pascal.The htz (GUI) program will only
compile with Delphi 3.0 and higher.

In order to compile the sources for yourself, you will need the
PasZlib units from:
