I need to convince others that I actually have done this, and that

one or two private demos.

The only test that will convince anyone is to take an uncompressable
source (such as the million random-digit file, or a file provided by
Adler, Mahoney, etc.), compress it, and then make the decompressor +
compressed data file available to everyone. This has several
benefits:

- Code + data file < size of original file proves that your system
does indeed compress any data
- Working decompression code proves the system functions and is
reversible
- You have a working system to then take public and get funding for

Remember, at no point do you make the *compressor* available, which
keeps your methods safe from theft. Even for funding, you still don't
need to show anyone the compressor until everything is to your
satisfaction. (You will be called on to provide more examples,
however, ie. repeatable tests with different files will need to be
compressed by you and the resulting compressed data made available for
trials. Again -- you never show the compressor to anyone -- your
method is kept safe.)

Until you do that, it is somewhat pointless to make claims (unless you
are asking for help and/or advice).
