Hi Richard It may be a problem on the compression side. I use a compressed stack as a custom file format for one of my apps and I use: -- saving save stack tName as pSave put compress(url ("binfile:"&pSave)) into url ("binfile:"&pSave) -- opening put decompress(url ("binfile:"&tOpen)) into tStack go stack tStack I was having errors like to ones you said until I started treating the stack as a binary file and the compressed data as binary.
