About 13 years ago I did some work with audio (lossy) compression. Along the way, I looked at text compression too. I would expect about 6-1 for lossless ascii compression. It looks like you got slightly better than that. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
