I was wondering if anyone out there has or knows of any good file compression/de-compression utilities. We are transferring very large files between a logic analyzer and a host machine. Even over GPIB or Ethernet, some of these transfers take HOURS, which is annoying to say the least. These are the requirements we are looking for: - Must be portable, or available over a wide range of systems including but not limited to PC's, Suns, Apollos, Apples, and of course our LA. - Must be fast. I.e. compression and transfer must take less time than transferring the original file. We are looking for speed improvements, not for disk space optimization. - We'd prefer this to be a product that is supported by its vendor, but this is negotiable. Please E-mail any leads you may have. This is becoming a critical problem... Thanks, Karen A. Cate Tektronix Inc, Beaverton OR tektronix!amadeus!karenc -OR- karenc@amadeus.LA.TEK.COM
