I want to say that before anyone starts posting file to FTP sites, the
binaries group, and even BBSsess, that we should come to a consensus on
how these files should be handled. What file extension should we use?
What about distribution for shareware? Multiple file uploading?
HardPressed does not combine many files into one. What type of files
compress well with LZSS? (This is in the manual, but I think everyone
should hear it posted so people get the idea.) Is it okay for general
use, in the sense that this may become a mainstream decompressing program
for shareware/freeware?
I'm very happy to see this program come out - I've been wishing for it
for a while now! I hope to see the possibilities of this program fully
exploited! Compressed disk publications, including GS+ and SoftDisk,
smaller program files, possibilities with GNO... :)
