RE: Ahem.
What would you prefer? Articles on what George Buh is doing in Europe now? That's all I can think of that wouldn't somehow be commercial in nature.

Compression?
I tried compressing two programs, Hearts & Rally 1000, seperately and with the highest compression setting.
Here's the results:
Combiner for Palm
Rally 1000 before: 40k after: 41k
Hearts before: 28k after: 35k!!!
Maybe it's because of the additional overhead of the self extraction, but I'm suspicious. I compared it to !pZip, which fared much better (and exactly where I would expect it to be).
!pZip
Rally 1000 before: 40k after: 25k
Hearts before: 28k after: 18k
Thoughts?

I don't get it....
The only time I see this saving anything is beam time for large files- but then you have to compute the compression and decompression times into that. Besides, the last time anyone I know beamed a large file to another user was NEVER!
RE: I don't get it....
Does this really work?

Combiner SUX!
