- What would be great would be a plugin for ImageFX ot ADPRO, I'm sure Nova is
- looking at this new format.

- Why not it seems like a very ineresting compression for the future, especially
- for internet stuff vere the biggest problem is the size of all bitmaps. What
- if all bitmaps were 50 times smaller.... Must be a great potential for this..
-
- If fractalcompressed images is as fast to decompress (much faster than jpg's,
- then it must revolutionise the future of internet.)
