Hi Ozz,

Current fidonet over the internet, is so fast, that most sessions only exchange
a single pkt file, with only a single or a few messages, typically a few
hundreds or thousands bytes. It makes no sense starting up a compression
program, that writes them to an compressed "intermediate" file on disk before
transmission, when most of those pkt files fit into a single tcp/ip frame. Or
when binkp can compress them on the fly which doesn't require extra disk writes
and reads for the compressed data.
Bye, Wilfred.
