- Hello,
-
- I am considering writing a compressing filesystem for use on the Atari ST and
- MiNT, and I was wondering what compression algorithm I should use. Now I have
- read the FAQ and I imagine I can use some existing LZ* source, but I would
- like to know what other people use or maybe you have some general advice
- to give, like the size of blocks to compress.
-
- Any help would be appreciated,
- Bart.
