I have also tried using Leifs compression function to compress a savf and although the compression works very well, there is a slight problem. The resulting compressed, and eventual decompressed, files are physical files which (this is where I may be wrong) cannot be changed back/converted into a savf. Thus, despite the excellent compression achieved, the result, I found, was not useful as the contents of the original savf cannot be restored again. Does anybody know if it is possible to either change a physical file into a savf, or write a savf directly during decompression? or is this not possible altogether. Thanks in advance Bruce "Harry Williams" <planesmart@telet To: "Mi400" <mi400@midrange.com> eam.net> cc: Sent by: Subject: [MI400] Compressing a savf file mi400-admin@midra nge.com 18-06-2002 00:13 Please respond to mi400 I was trying to see if I can compress save files to a size smaller that a save file. First is anyone has tried this I will not try it otherwise I will try. I was looking a leif book and I was trying to read a save file and got a message that the length was too long. It said save files need to be 528. I was reading chapter 12 on compression. The statement it had a problem with CALLX .SEPT(OPEN-ENTRY), OPEN-I, * ; I do not see where the length of this file is set at all. Any suggestions?
