Re: JAVA compression

Re: JAVA compression

In article <7bc1vu$vg...@news.rhrz.uni-bonn.de>, Meph
<UZS...@ibm.rhrz.uni-bonn.de> writes
>Ok., here comes an other JAVA script.
>ASCII art could be compressed very high and the idea was to write a script
>which could decompress ASCII files. It is using a primitive RLE algorithm
>which works best with less characters and large files.
>
>In contrast to the JAVA anim script these files work with 'charAt' and
>'charCodeAt' tags instead of the split function. The encoding is faster
>(and may be the files are 3.0 browser compatible).
>Thanks Colin for the tip.

>After opening the files please have patient, because the decompression needs
>some time (especially with Netscape). The second file works only if 'rle.js'
