Check old posts by Matthias Paul about DR-FONTS.* HTMLhelp 1.03, including ZIP support for saving disk spaceNifty feature, indeed. Bernd also suggested compressed CPI for DISPLAY / MODE,
with GZIP: Question, is there already an established compressed-CPI file
format or should we indeed use GZIP (or e.g. RLE / Huffmann Coding / simple
"copy N bytes from offset M" style compression ... the latter is easy
to decompress but slow for compression, altlhough that does not really hurt).
The good news (for me ;-)) is that no matter if you use DR-FONTS or any other "compression" format (DR-FONTS does not compress IIRC), MODE needs to create a memory image of the CPI file to be sent to DISPLAY. So it isn't a big deal if MODE just reads CPI files from inside ZIPs...
