Thanks my friend, Rene's last post, 1 meg. tied everything up again, I wish
I could fx this. Byard sent me the Koolaid PDF and I had to lose it because
of size. That sounded like a great article.
Thanks again for helping me out.

Jimi- Took all of 5 minutes.  Done and in the mail.  All 5 swaps.

Thanks Don O,
   That would take care of the dial up long time possible download at 12
kps. Plus, I can look at it on Amanda's computer, better graphics, go
figure... Address follows,

Rene,
Since Jimi has a cd drive, I can just copy all the swap files to a disc
   

and
 

mail it to him cheap.
I think that would be easier and save a lot of time over splitting and
re-sending files.  He could then forward it to another mess swapper if
   

they
 

can't read it.
Jimi, send address.

 Nick,
 That is correct. I tried it as well, got the same results.
 The reason is that 95% of the PDF are jpeg-files, and they are
   

compressed
 

already. And compressing an compressed file gives no further results.
Otherwise, the first compress wasn't good.

You're right Don. Pictures, music etc. are hard to compress due to the
density of information in the file. I tried just now to see what it would
   

do
 

to a *pdf file. The first mess file (3.75Mb) was zipped down to (3.72Mb).
The one we got the other day (533Kb) was zipped down to 482Kb. Smaller...
but not that radical.
There are some file types where WinZip does a very good job... but there
   

are
 

also file types where it doesn't make much difference at all.

Jimi,
From what I have been told, .jpeg's don't compress well.
I'll try to send you one zipped.
Do you have a cd drive on your pc?

 Was wondering, would it be possible to zip the last mess swap photos
with win-zip so I could receive them? 3 meg was way to much for my
dial up and server, they had to delete the message because it was
clogging up the
   system
 and I could never get it. Others had the same problem, like Deb I
think. Thanks, Jimi
