SCREEN FILE COMPRESSOR.

This software product appeared "from

Mother was also tired of the software, so we decided to
write a screen compressor. My software

only in a more or less convenient interface

Create standard screens in three ways.
The first, also according to established tradition, was
extracted from one interesting program,
which did not look very nice, but
compressed files quite effectively.
In truth, this is the procedure
compression and decompression is the most
productive in the program. The rest
two compression methodswere invented
by me at different times for other purposes, but in
this program are combined into one whole. Their
efficiency is slightly lower than the first
method, but sometimes (and this is true!) you get
moose and vice versa. Differences between methods

All three unpackers have auto-binding
to the file location address. From here it follows-
It is clear that the resulting file can be loaded under
any reasonable address, except the screen, of course
but... Can be shipped to disk and normal

programs) from the idiotic loading method

the screen decompression procedure began to
work which required 20 (!!!) kilo-
byte of memory. It’s not working with such perversions
I melt - bring it separately to the work station -

The program is equipped with auto-search for images

If the file fits the installed requirements

so until the end.
When compressing a picture, it is used

work. This is not a glitch, so don't be alarmed.
For the first compression method to work,
requires a lot of memory, so part of the work

lasts about 15 seconds. Then everything became

the sizes of the received files are indicated for all
compression methods. To record to a disc or

you can enter the “Demonstration” mode and confirm

tested by a huge number of screens
files and found to be operational and suitable
suitable for use.
According to established tradition, I can send
original listings to continue working on
over the program, if anyone wants it.

there is no program, then there is nothing more to say,
because everything is done in Russian, so it’s understandable
but it will be without further ado. Bye.
