I have tried compressing and decompressing the whole file as the first
test. I tried compressing the data from a variable as a second test.
I've looked at the same data in a text editor on both platforms and I
did a comparison of charToNum() of the compressed data on both
platforms. This was the exact same problem I had with blowfish I think.
I solved it by constricting cross-platform data transfers to less than
ascii 127; even though the data can represent up to ascii 255. My
blowfish algorithm does it all as numerical values until the final
rendering. I had to drop binaryEncode() & binaryDecode() in order to
get numerical only results within the process. That's why I think it's
something like upper ascii character values across platforms.

PS In fact with a litle adjustment your Blowfish stack is working on both platforms
