Just thought I'd mention that I've added a bzip2 module to the cower.mod namespace. You can download it from the link in my signature ('BlitzMax Modules'), it's called "cower.bzip2.zip." It should compile regardless of platform and has no dependencies outside of Brl.Bank and Brl.Math. There are two utility functions: CompressBank & DecompressBank. I'd add more but anything beyond those two is rather pointless. Enjoy in the case that you use it.

hows it work - is this for reading inside zip files in a cross platform manner?

Rob: It's an alternative to using zlib. It sacrifices (some) speed for better compression. It's good for reducing the size of a file when distributing patches or packed files for example.
