I have tried compressing and decompressing the whole file as the first test. I tried compressing the data from a variable as a second test. I've looked at the same data in a text editor on both platforms and I did a comparison of charToNum() of the compressed data on both platforms. This was the exact same problem I had with blowfish I think. I solved it by constricting cross-platform data transfers to less than ascii 127; even though the data can represent up to ascii 255. My blowfish algorithm does it all as numerical values until the final rendering. I had to drop binaryEncode() & binaryDecode() in order to get numerical only results within the process. That's why I think it's something like upper ascii character values across platforms.
So can you compress this: "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890" on a Mac, save it as binary on a Mac, and open & decompress it on a Windows machine? I need to see a basic text file that I can decompress on Mac & Windows. \ mb
