Hi Bobbee, You can use the "zlib" compression / decompression library. It is very efficient in compressing plain text (e.g. XML data) and it is free. I have used zlib and most of the time it gets a 8:1 compression ratio (sometimes up to 10:1 ratio depending on the white space).
You can get it from http://www.gzip.org/zlib/ later Roger Lacroix Enterprise Architect Capitalware Inc. http://www.capitalware.net ---------------------------------------- IBM Certified Specialist - MQSeries IBM Certified Developer - MQSeries IBM Certified Solutions Expert - MQSeries ---------------------------------------- At 03:21 PM 6/18/2002, you wrote: >WE are configuring to send excess of 100 meg messages.
