- I was referring to the XFH-Handler which is part of the XPK package.
- XPK has not been officially released yet, but will be within the next
- couple of days. XPK is a joint effort between Urban Mueller, Kristian
- Nielsen, Bryan Ford and a few more. It's an XPR-like programming
- interface for data compression routines. In this package the XFH-
- Handler is included which can decompress files on the fly. The Beta
- version I have also compresses on the fly (although for some types of
- applications it does not work right now).
-
- Watch c.s.a.announce the next couple of days for the public release.
-
- I am also developing a compressing filesystem of my own, which is
- quite different from the XPK approach (it is a real filesystem). More
- on this later when it's released.
