Re: A86: Zip?


Kirk Meyer made a program (available at ticalc.org) that will compress an
.86p file on the pc and turn it into a self-extracting program.  There are
limitations, such as requiring that the extracted program to be under the
(8k?) limit for asm programs.

Doing a PKZIP program for the calc would be pretty simple, just use huffman
compression to turn an program var into a string var.  I might work on it
when I get done with my current project.
