HP compression problems



I've been lately been trying to find a better compression method for
my MODs since I'm low on disk space and stuff.

Well,the method I sorta empirically refined is differential/lzss/adaptive
huffman (dlah). It's not as efficient as differential/adaptive but the lzss
add-in increases the decompression speed a bit.

The problem is that on the first time compression through, the MOD compiles
fine.  When DLAH is performed on a second file, the computer crashes. This
happens also with all inits/das disabled except for HP.

Does this have to do with the compressors having different versions, or that
differential, and adaptive are disabled load files?

BTW, differential/adaptive and rle/lzw corrupts files more often than not.

Andy, any clues to these HP problems?

Thanks so much,

Joseph
