I hope someone has a better idea! The notion of "PDS compression" has a long and time honored history... But then along came... well, actual compression! As we all know, PDS compression has nothing to do with data compression. All it does is rearrange the physical location of members so as to eliminate the holes (foam? gas?) that has arisen between them. Historically, we have called that "compression", but in this day and age continuing to call it that no longer is an option. Has anyone come up with a better term that I missed while not looking?
