Re: Data Compression

[Jerome Kaidor <jerryk@best.com>]

Hello,

   Several people have mentioned that gzip now has a "stream" option that
does pretty much what my little compressor did.  It sure didn't back then.
I went through the source with a fine-tooth comb, and at that time, it did
indeed work as I described.  Time marches on.

  My compressor had a very small footprint - about 6K.  That's less 
important now than it was then - nowadays even an in-cockpit laptop can
be expected to have significant computing resources.
