So far, you're true and thats a 21% decrease in size. So it takes a day, the programs got some bugs, but add some tweaks and more intelligentcomputer lines and you've got yourself a WinZip Clone.
I don't get it though, Winzip made a 4mg folder into 345kb in 4 seconds, isnt the percentage there greater than 128 bit and 100 bit compression? Yes, 1024 bits make a byte but still it doesnt really seem clear how this is really signfaciant. -- If you think what I just said was good, why not vote me up? |

Just being picky but the last I heard, 8 bits made a byte (now being called an octet in some circles). A word is made up of some number of bits. -- I am not lost, I find myself every time. |
