uncrunch
verbEtymology
From un- + crunch.
Definitions
To decompress.
- Load (but do not run) the BASIC program you want to uncrunch.
- Thus when you invoke the crunched version of emacs, for instance, it actually loads the uncruncher, which then loads and uncrunches the rest of emacs.
- Presumably, having uncrunched the data from the compressed archive, it's faster to reload the uncrunched version if it's needed again.
