Two Mails..

Sorry, but I didn't get any notification that my first mail was send until
about 2 hours later.
Within that time i had already tried to send it again.
Thanx goes to Joseph Martin, well if this one does look normal.
It uses UUencode and is still being send by MS Mail.
However when i'm writing this, i'm already downloading Eudora Pro 3.1
Just after i found a serial, (I've searched for +serial, +warez & +eudora
and got 12.000 hits)

Why did it take so much time for the mail-server to respond anyway?
With that Eudora thing i'm going to send Robert Craig the routines,
 hope someone cares...
I could first change it to handle special files with an index if some of
you would find that usefull.
Or implent the compression routine of Daniel Berstein. (Architek)

What the routine does...
This sequence:

        { "Euphoria",  {
{ 244,  244,        244,  244,  244,  244, 244,  244, 
                        244,  244   }  ,
{     1,     1, 2340506,      1,     1,     1,     1,   
                         1,      1,
1   }  ,
{1000,1000,     
                        1000,1000,1000,1000,1000,1000,1000,1000}  }  }                                   
                             }

Because some of the values are above 255 you would normally save them (if
you've written it manually)
        as 16-bits-integer values.
If you would save them without the structure and the strings include it it
would take up 30 * 16 bits = 480 bits
But my 'shrink' routine would return a binary representation of 405 bits.
That is about 15.5% less and the original structure and the string
"Euphoria" are saved too.
You'll have to convert them manually to bytes.
Why this is not implented?? Well, because the number of bits aren't
        always in a step of 8 ( .. 8, 16,  24, 32 ... )

Sorry for any language mistakes... (If they know what your saying you
needn't to think harder!!)
