  You wanna compress files?  YOU WANNA COMPRESS FILES?  *THAT*'S not how you
compress files.  *I'LL SHOW YOU HOW YOU COMPRESS A FILE*....

Step 1:  Preparation
--------------------

PLACE HIPPO HERE-> XXXXX













PLACE FILE HERE->           OOOOO



Step 2:  Release the hippo!
---------------------------

HIPPO WAS HERE  ->
                   <whe        
                      ee   
                        e
                         e
                         ee
                          ee
                           e
                           ee
                            e
                            ee
                             e
                             ee
FILE IS HERE   ->      THUMPkersplat>


Step 3:  Retrieve compressed file!
----------------------------------

HIPPO WAS HERE  -> XXXXX













FILE IS HERE   ->           ooooo  <-- looks like about 50% compression to me.


  For greater compression, either use more hippos, or fatter ones.  ;-)

    cheers,
