Why not use automatic .gz compression of eg apache and Netscape ??
As Bernie has proposed.
This is long known and used.
Simply replace proprietary pkzip with free GPLed GnuZIP
and call xy.ZBM xy.bmp.gz
gzip is also available for dos !
I had to download some scientific papers of a distributed project.
It cam as dist00.ps.gz and netscape received it, decompressed it
internally, and started GPLd GhostView to view the postscript files.
Michael ... what do you say ??
Integrating gzip code into a flat 386 DJGPP version of Arachne ??
CV> Well, yeah. But the main idea (aside from generally replacing .gifs)
I thought that this is what .PNG is for.
(does it mean portable network graphics, or PNG is not gif ...
or both)
IMHO Arachne has a PNG converter included.

CU, Ricsi
PS: Maybe I will compare Arachne with IE or Netscape ...
I have to compare 2 browser for a *VERY* silly (other) university project.
