        Thanks, but using your EDOM the zipped file became bigger and slower :(

        I tried with this file:

        BMP File (with header): 102 kb
        Zipped BMP File:          17kb         <---- The smallest one.
        EDO File:                     36 kb
        Zipped EDO File:          30 kb

Actually the EDO file is smaller, but comparing the final zipped BMP
        file
(the one that matters, since I just want to make the distribution file
smaller) with the
zipped EDO file, the BMP zipped is smaller.
And for reading the BMP file I spent 1 second but for reading the EDO
        file
I spent almost a minute !
