No, it was a joke, and I'm just ignorant. Duhh. Thanks to everybody who sent mail and didn't call me an idiot.
No, we wouldn't call you or anyone else an idiot for not having seen this compression farce a couple of years ago, not when we're just recovering from The Snake that Cannot Be Named. The WEB thing was really a hoot. Do what Ray suggests and read the FAQ in the compression group. (You know, there needs to be a "High Tech Urban Legends" book....I can see someone asking: "I heard there was this great compression algorithm, but the disk drive makers bought up the rights to it to keep it off the market...") --Tim May -- ..........................................................................
