- Hi,
- I have runned the LZRW3-A program (cited in the FAQ) on a Mac, with
- a main() doing only a compression and a decompression, in memory,
- and testing if the final size of the
- compressed-then-decompressed file was OK. To have a portable code
- I did not use the 68000's fast_copy routine.
- The program worked.
-
- Then I tried to run it on a MSDOS machine, same code, same main(),
- changing just a little the file port.h.
-
- The program does not work: the size of the
- compressed-then-decompressed file is different from the original size!!
-
- Has anybody experienced something similar (and know why) ?
- Has anybody a MSDOS-working version of LZRW3 or LZRW3-A, together with
- the appropriate *.h files and a mini-example of procedure calls?
-
- If ANSWER=YES please let me know or send me the files at
- Giovanni Resta

- Thanks!
