Let it go :)

And as I packed with CBC Cruncher, I’ll continue to pack, even if
there is a cooler one, because there is no faster one! And speed is
the most important thing... When you pack 8 levels from a game, where each has 4
files (NARC), you think more about speed than about the 2k won.. you can win a lot
if you merge all the files into one continuous file on the Amiga
and then load it at the byte offset. That's what I do now. So
the limit of shrinkage of spec software has almost been reached. What is not
compressed is optimized!

Hi, Max!!!

In a message of 05 Mar 97 Max Romanoff write to Roman Alexandrov:

MR> Hello Roman,
MR> In a message dated 04 Mar 97 you wrote to me :

MR>>> Hmm. I wonder where the mixed texts come from?

RA>> Max, it’s not funny... Russian text interspersed with English
RA>> terminology.

MR> No, well, as I understand it, it should be equally divided? Or what?

Take any pieces of any files and pack them! Just STOP discussing
the percentage of packaging material! Let there be 75.4% Russian and
24.6% English text!

MR> Good Luck...

PS: FIDO, year 2000, topic: About Crunchers; And yet we will use 27%
of the English text, and not 25.5%! E! 25.678 plus a dot over the letter i...
