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
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,
