Quite serious. It depends on what you're compressing. There is a certain ammount of overhead added to a compressed file. If the ammount of savings in compressing does not exceded this overhead, the resulting file will be bigger than the original. Just make it optional to compess the data before sending via a CLI option or some graphical checkbox (as the case may be). Timm Murray ----------- Theory is when you know how it works, but fails. Practice is when something works, but you don't know why. Here, Theory and Practice come together. Nothing works, and nobody knows why. _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl >From - Sun May 6 15:04:40 2001 Return-Path: <devl-admin at freenetproject.org> Received: from hawk.freenetproject.org (postfix@[4.18.42.11]) by funky.danky.com (8.9.3/8.8.7) with ESMTP id JAA17630 for <danello at danky.com>; Thu, 3 May 2001 09:23:24 -0400 Received: from hawk.freenetproject.org (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by hawk.freenetproject.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 26A285816D; Thu, 3 May 2001 07:03:04 -0700 (PDT) Delivered-To: devl at freenetproject.org Received: from madtimes.com (server48.aitcom.net [208.234.0.42]) by hawk.freenetproject.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id AF72A57FFA for <devl at freenetproject.org>; Thu, 3 May 2001 07:02:01 -0700 (PDT)
