- Just tried it out -- it compressed as promised. However, the
- decompression does not produce the same file as the original. It
- had a different file length, and using fc game me about 10 non-alignments
- (on a 65k GIF). However, there doesn't seem to be a loss in the image,
- at least not from casual viewing.
-
- Is the decompression different than the original file? If so, should this
- be fixed?
