Somebody said that Compactor couldn't be used on the news since its algorithms
aren't public. I talked about that with Bill Goodman, and his policy is that he doesn't want to publish his algorithms until a lot of peoble start using compactor. He is totally aware of the problem, and I think, that if we start using it on the news, he will probably publish them soon.
