Cezar,
I appreciate what your saying, and agree with you, but in this case the client
company and their users are dictating how they want to receive the information,
and it comprises a few selection boxes with 100's of options. I'm trying to
ween them off this way but they want it that way for now...in the meantime if I
can be compressing them, on a simple test it was reducing 160K to 43K which is
very much worth pursuing. I'm not too worried about the processing for the
moment - especially as it would save 'me' bandwidth costs.
