Well I Don't Go Much For Compression,But I'll Give The Audience A General Overview Of My Thesis. >Well we all know that a zipped archive has certain "traces" of the compression method that was used. > What Would Be Nice Is A Program That Recognizes These Traces in lets say 5 bytes for example. and substitute those 5 bytes for 1. for example. -->You Have A 900k zip file. Your Program Processes The Zip Archive And Substitues All The Familiar Traces In The Zip Archive With A Type Of Shorthand for .ZIP Archives . Are ya Getting me? Well In Theory You now Have A Smaller File. Well Other People Using The Same Program Over The internet can Download The "Shorthand" Version Of the Archive And Using The Program Can Resubstitute or "Fill In The Blanks". Get Me Here? Hmm.This Calls For Visual Output.. Ok. Here We Go. I Have A Zip Archive With The String "Stupid" Inside. The Prog takes The ZIP And Substitues "Stupid" With, Lets Say The Number "7" keeping the same file name with different extension like ".SHoRT" or something. Now Somebody Downloads The ".SHoRT" File,Uses The Program, The Program Sees "7" And Substitutes It With the Original "Stupid" string. And Voila! A Shorter Download! What Do You All Think? If This theory works though,I want to be mentioned for the idea.. ;) _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
