No. Reimplementing STAC is (AFAIK) forbidden by patent law. There seems to be a sample (slow and/or not fully compressing) implementation available from STAC (see www.hifn.com), which in turn seems only be available to north american human beings. The only thing in reach seems to be BSD compression and putting it in i4b and/or sppp is "just" a matter of "just doing it (tm)" ;-) hellmuth -- Hellmuth Michaelis hm@kts.org Hamburg, Europe We all live in a yellow subroutine, yellow subroutine, yellow subroutine ...
