No, but look at that 30k piccy of sandra bullock. Compression is needed
until 4meg TI-92s are the norm of the day. 30k for a 3color raw picture
that is absurd. By the way i will release a library for fargo that will
decompress pictures. Included will be a little program to compress TI92
vars. The routine should be fast and efficient.
