| Has anyone managed to use 7z compression from within BlitzMax? I'm tempted to write a module if there's not already one out there... |

| 7z would be great! For many types of files, 7z can be significantly smaller than .zip or .rar files. I think 7z is open source, too, so there should be a pretty good amount of info/source available to adapt from. Russell |

| In the interests of optimisation and small file size (yeah I'm a stickler for that with igLoader being on 26KB!), why don't you utlise the compression systems built into Windows. FYI Win95, 98, XP, ME, 2000 blah blah all have support for .cab files, why not use them? and yeah they are small too. |
