RE: LZ: Ramviewer

In a 32k calc the brute force method, being shorter, is
the best method.  Boyer-Moore is great when you have to
do serious searching of large blocks of data, but these
calcs dont have room for large blocks of data.  A brute
force search would seem instantaneous and save lots of
space.
