Re: Please, PLEASE, hold your questions/comments/elsewhat til the end. Thank you. :)

Just a short note.

I'm not counting the filename. I'm not storing any real information in
it, either. I'll concede the point that if you count the filename,
then the counting principle holds. I'll concede the point that maybe
my algorithm doesn't work exactly as I say it does, or exactly as well.
I won't concede the point that BPE based compression on files of 256
unique byte complexity or files of 65,536 unique byte combination
complexity isn't useful, and I won't concede the point that it won't
work-at least for a vast majority of files. After all, according to
the THEORY of counting principle, for a given file size N, there are
only two that cannot be stored in a bit less of space. Again, some
sizes aren't exactly usable, but more are.

That's all.
