It runs about 42K lharced, which will open up to about 60K uuencoded. MindLink charges by the K for Email, so I could soon run up a good bill here. So, instead what I'll do is tell you where you can get it: Frog Hollow (604)-469-0264 The file is called LHSRC.LZH and it is in section D0: (Think CP/M ;-). Frog Hollow uses ZMD to manage file transfers. Type ZMD alone to get info. It may well save you some LD charges to check your local IBMish boards first. <-Harvey "TeleVision: They call it a medium, because it is neither rare nor well done."

In trying to speed it up, I ended up recoding a bit of it into assembly, and finally did get it to go about 2 times faster decompressing. Unfortunately, for what I wanted it for, that wasn't nearly fast enough. I would REALLY like to get a copy of that optimized version (source) you have. My 8086 is a little rusty, but it would come in pretty handy to know what tricks they used that I didn't think of. (Especially since I don't know exactly how the thing works!) If you could mail me a copy of that source, I'd really appreciate it. thanks (as usual) in advance. ------------------------------------------------------ Quantum _\/_ 2727 Eel Bruce (6502 RULES!)
