- Description:
-
- Compress will compress (and subsequently decompress) Armadeus format samples.
- It is much more efficient at this than general purpose compressors such as
- !SparkFS or !Squash. Particularly useful if you have large collections of
- samples, or are running a BBS or FTP site, or anywhere else that you want to
- keep storage requirements or transmission times to a minimum.
-
- A background player (!Player) is available to play squashed samples directly
- from disc without having to decompress them first. Also, tools (!CompUtils) are
- available for you to graft compressed sample support into your own programs.
