Yes, i know, it are 2 routines combined and the compression routine
isn't so fast, but do know that the sequence structure is also saved,
this takes a little bit more space than a bmp-file, but the
compression makes up for this, it's only a shame it is so slow....
Maybe when i understand one of the compression methods i'll rewrite
the code in a nice compact function, which should be a lot quicker.
The code that makes bits out of a sequence is very old code of mine,
i do not understand it any more, i made it last spring when i was 14.
But i'll look-in to it, cuse it really needs improvement, i know...
