I do expect to use this method, as inefficient as it is, on Nelson's
MILLION-DIGIT file. In fact, because the compressor is public, it's
easy for Mark to run the compressor step himself. (Mark, I'll send
you the code to do this as soon as I get to the machine which has my
compressor work.)

We don't give a damn about the compressor. Anybody can write a
program that outputs garbage. We need to see a working *decompressor*
(ie. prove your transforms are reversible) before we'll take you
seriously.

I'd like to suggest the algorithm for the Jules Gilbert Compressor:

1) Add Jules Gilbert to your killfile - set to expunge, not just mark as read.
2) Wait until he next posts.
3) He's compressed down to nothing!

Note - this is _not_ lossy compression.
