Has anyone ever seen or used an encoding or compression algorithm
to store image files? I have seen a couple of demos which appear
to be compressed, as they are all different sizes and come up in
a "slideshow" style presentation.
I would be interested in receiving any details regarding sources,
implementation, etc. which you might have.
BTW - good JOB! out there in Sunnyvale - an excellent product.

What I meant to ask was if such a scheme existed which could be used on an image file from within a program; in that way a "slideshow" or "animated" demo/tutorial would be able to be more miserly with it's use of disc for the images. I am thinking of run-length-encoding schemes, but have yet to see anyone talk about it here on the net. -- Walt Weber UUCP: {harvard,ll-xn}!rclex!walt Ridge Computers PHONE: (617) 861-6000 Lexington, Mass.
