Glad you succeeded.
Thanks,
Seems TSU02 finally fixed a SETSPD bug. ;)
Sounds like just a corrupted disk.
That really shouldn't happen, barring a crash of the host hardware, or
an unclean shutdown of the OS. Don't do that.
I tried to ^ECEASE every time...but I must've missed one or hit a memory
error.
Depends on data. Try it and see.
Since 36 bits are stored in 64, there's an automatic inflation of 1.8x
of zeros.
Ahh, right.
After that, depends on your data & the compression. Since most text files
aren't byte-aligned (7-bit bytes), you should use/set your compressor to
allow fairly wide codes (if it's variable width).
Mmm.
But it really doesn't matter. The capacity of an RP06 is ~177MB;
notebook PCs
these days come with 500GB-2TB drives. So you can fit 2,800 RP06s on the
'small' drive; 11,000 on the large ones. OK, divide by 1.8 for 1,500
/6,300.
Desktops, network storage tend to be bigger. So a few backup copies of
your
RP06s really isn't a big deal, even uncompressed.
Yeah... ;)
YMWV.
