CMP Version 1.0
UCMP
UCMP is a file decompression program. It is intended to work
with the compression program (CMP) distributed with the "On This
Day" events database program.
We are NOT attempting in any way to compete with existing general
purpose compression programs. ARC, LHARC, PKZIP, etc. are all
fine products and deserve your support if you are looking for a
fast and optimal compression program. CMP was developed to
provide the ability to keep databases for "On This Day" in a
compressed form so as to minimize disk usage, yet not have to be
uncompressed before OTD was run.
For our databases, we have found that we can achieve roughly a
33% reduction in size.
The syntax of the command line is:
UCMP <compressed file> <uncompressed file>
<uncompressed file> and <compressed file> may not be the same
name.
Please note that neither CMP nor UCMP is to be shared with other
users. It is not distributed under the Shareware concept and
remains under the strictest copyright limitations. It is
provided as one benefit of having registered OTD.
