Subject: [REBOL] Re: Compression
Wow that sounds like a big number. Actually though its more like 65
terabytes given some of REBOL's limitations with number size but feel thats
acceptable. :)
Can I hold you to that Nobel Peace prize? ;)
Actually, economics and time play the most inportant part in the amount of
compression needed. For example it would take very long time to uncompress
2 gig worth of data from 400 bytes. That may not be a the best means of
data handling depending on the situation. However, I for example put an
entire CD image on a website (compress to less than 400 bytes) then download
it over a dialup line and uncompress it very easily with very little possibe
risk of corruption due to the small footprint. I would be skeptical also of
this and had doubts and many road blocks. However, it can and will be
available soon. Thanks for the comments.
