A while back I started work on a pair of functions that use a stack file as a container for files compressed using LC's built-in gzip, storing things in a property set rather than a single property since of course gzip only handles single files. The advantage over Zip is minor, merely eliminating the need for an external. But it was simple enough that it seemed a good idea at the time.
I got sidetracked while I was working on it and haven't been able to justify finishing it because I had no immediate use case for it and it didn't seem the sort of thing others would need.
But if others would find it useful I could finish it. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ____________________________________________________________________ [email protected] http://www.FourthWorld.com _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
