Review by  Joe Stegner Reviewed on 2004-11-21 Suitability: 7/10 good for mem, but bad due to resets Ease-Of-Use: 9/10 easy to compress/decompress Overall: 8/10 needs to be more stable/persistent Here's something useful for an 86, a compressing/decompressing utility called Zip86. This program is a nice little program that'll help you save some space in your nice 96k of memory. Just how much? That depends. My results changed from program to program. Trisolve: Before: 3918 After: 1904 Sim Community 2000: Before:5980 After:5979 i^n: Before: 560 After: 373 Herons: Before: 269 After: 234 Jezzball: Before: 3438 After: 2842 It seems to work a lot better for big BASIC files rather than for ASM files. At one point SC2k didn't even compress 1 byte. The program is rather unstable as well. When I ran i^n, at the end of the program it screwed up and said "compressing", then displayed an 'N' at the top of my screen. After running Herons, it was apparent my ram was doomed to a reset. It is a nice program, and with a few updates it should become a lot better. While the memory saved might not be persistant, it should save you some mem.
