TBPK Beta

[Michael Clease]

I have been working on a compression module and thought I would release a beta for people to play with and see if it works for them.

Just copy the dll into the LIB folder of thinBasic

Syntax is quite simple (see the test script)

sPacked = TBPK_Compress( sInput, %TBPK_RLE )

sUnpacked = TBPK_DeCompress( sPacked)

I dont think I need to explain with more detail at the moment.

Have fun

Thanks,

it works good here, do you have other compression algos planned?

I am quite happy with the RLE at the moment but as for other methods I would suspect that wont see daylight until Santa has visited.

The approach I am taking is to get my idea working then rewrite to optimise for speed until that happens nothing is for public consumption.
