Nice one. But .....
I still think I missed something. I had guessed "zipped bitmap" and
thought I'd try it. Got a nice big (just over 1 MB) .BMP and zipped it
to .ZBM.
The zip was reduced to about 85 % of the original .BMP. :(
That is obviously not good enough, so what did I miss ?
(Quite happy to be instructed, don't mind being told the bleeding
obvious, got a thicker skin than most - I even ignore the Grammour Sherif.)
Regards,
Ron
