CMP Version 1.0
CMP
CMP is a file compression program. It is intended to work with
the "On This Day" events database program, but can be used as a
general purpose compression program, nonetheless. To get the
original file back from a compressed program, use the UCMP
program.
We are NOT attempting in any way to compete with existing general
purpose compression programs. ARC, LHARC, PKZIP, etc. are all
fine products and deserve your support if you are looking for a
fast and optimal compression program. CMP was developed to
provide the ability to keep databases for "On This Day" in a
compressed form so as to minimize disk usage, yet not have to be
uncompressed before OTD was run.
For our databases, we have found that we can achieve roughly a
33% reduction in size.
The syntax of the command line is:
CMP <original file> <compressed file>
<original file> and <compressed file> may not be the same name.
