FWIW, there are sort of two levels of compression in clipper documents.
First, instead of ASCII HTML tags clipper documents use binary tokens.
This actually shrinks things up quite a bit ("<br>", "<p> ... </p>",
etc. get pretty big).
Second, data can be compressed using a simple encoding scheme. It is
not as effective as you might think, but it typically gives some
reduction.
As far as I can tell, clipper does understand non encoded documents, but
gets extremely confused by non-tokenized docs.
I'm not sure why you want to stuff the cache. If you data is static,
why not just create a PQA? If the data is dynamic, why do you want to
use clipper to display it instead of displaying it yourself?
Good Luck,

Subject: Can Clipper display uncompressed HTML?
Hi folks,
I am trying to display a web page in Clipper, and it appears I won't be
able
to display it unless I compress it. I have the HTML, but do I have to
compress it to get Clipper to understand it?
Also, if anyone knows the format of the Clipper Cache or a good way to
stuff
documents into the Clipper Cache, please let me know!
Thanks,
Matt Myers
