Have you given this some thought? ARC is a patented algorithm and I'm not sure it's the greatest idea to implement[1], knowingly, a patented algorithm. I think you should discuss your thoughts here on this list more before putting your application forward. Maybe someone else can provide some other algorithm with similar performance to ARC, yet not patent encumbered. Kind Regards, Alex Hornung [1]: http://www.varlena.com/GeneralBits/96.php
