So for non-repeating byte sequences you double them in length, e.g. sequence: 0x01 0x02 0x03 0x04 result: 0x01 0x01 0x01 0x02 0x01 0x03 0x01 0x04 ?? Most RLE schemes I am familiar with have a code that says "the next N bytes are to be read as-is", frequently the high-bit. Thererefore the result for my example could be: 0x84 0x01 0x02 0x03 0x04 Now ... which way does Palm do it? -- -Richard M.
