Thanks, I am currently researching which compression algorithm to use,
under following conditions:
a) running (reasonably fast) on a 8086 with little RAM
b) small code size, easy to implement / understand
c) decent compression ratio for text
I plan to compress the individual help files inside
Hi Jerome, hi Bernd,
I just checked too, as anyhow it is also my baby (I tested a lot). Fdisk.lng is the replacement for fdisk.en, fdisk.de + other languages in one file. Reason: Space reduction in comparison to old versions, but a space waster on a diskette. It is not needed on a diskette as

just tell the RBE to exclude that file. There are a number of such
