JONATHAN HENDRY INTRODUCES LIPODOC
A REMEDY FOR TIGHT DISK SPACE
PHILADELPHIA, JAN. 18, 1994 - Philadelphia, the city which brought
you the soft pretzel, the cheese steak and the Fresh Prince. The
only city where you can say "whiz with?" to a burly gentleman and
not get punched. This fine city is now the birth place of yet
another technological advance- LipoDoc
LipoDoc is an effective and inexpensive means of easing overcrowding
on your hard drive. LipoDoc allows you to reduce the space required
by your online documentation by 50%-75%. Even though the documentation
is compressed, LipoDoc allows you to access it almost as fast as
uncompressed documentation. Also, Digital Librarian searches are
just as fast as ever. LipoDoc can easily and painlessly save you
20-30 megabytes of drive space or more, for much less than the cost
of a new, larger drive. The more you compress, the more you'll
save. In addition to compressing the online documentation, LipoDoc
can be used to compress and index any collection of rtf and rtfd
files you may have.
"But what if I mung my copy of LipoDoc? How do I access the files?",
you ask, having heard nightmarish stories of other compression
utilities. Fear not, I say. The documentation is still there, and
is compressed with standard compression utilities which are shipped
with NEXTSTEP. LipoDoc does not use any sort of virtual file or
volume compression schemes.
LipoDoc is perfect for people who...
...are using NEXTSTEP for Intel Processors on laptops with small drives
...use Renderman but always find their disks filling up with swapfile
...have had difficulty deciding between Shakespeare and a.b.p.e.
LipoDoc will give you even more breathing room. In fact,
it's good for anyone who would like a little more space on
their drive.
LipoDoc will be distributed as reasonably priced shareware. LipoDoc
is currently in beta testing and will be released shortly. Upon
release it will be available on the various NeXT-oriented archive
sites.
