I know the original cause of this thread has already been
addressed, but considering I've been in a coding mood, it
prompted me to finally convert some old QBasic code, so...
...
I've just emailed Rob my lossless compression library,
Compresso v. 1.0. It uses a simple, byte-oriented algorithm,
and yet is surprisingly fast, with decent compression
ratios (for what I've tested it on so far.)
The key hook though is its flexibility. It uses "streams"
to de/compress your data, so it can handle multiple data
sets at the same time, and/or let you de/compress your
data in chunks at a time, if you like. And the routines are
very easy to use. I'm sure someone else, somewhere, will
eventually wind up needing this kind of functionality...
It should be posted to the Euphoria site soon (or, as
always, just email me.)
Happy coding!
