That's what I expected from reading the code; but reading 'structure' had me think that the compressed integer is part of the plaintext (ie, the input to __compress and output of __decompress). IOW, I expected 'structure' to only say "it's compressed" without details of the copmression function's file format. > r1400133 adds a description of the binary integer format. > > -- Stefan^2. Thanks, I'll read it.
