RE: Best Compression Include File

Your bottleneck here is floppy I/O.  Are you comparing different OS's on 
the same system?  If not, it might be that your Win2K system has a 
slower floppy drive...  Just add some time() statements to your program 
to compare floppy I/O times with a test file of fixed size.  You could 
also compare compression times on each OS using a few 'time' statements 
and writing to hard disk...
