Regarding screen or any general string compression routines, I have a ques-
tion for the group: Wouldn't there be an advantage to a compression tech-
nique which would search for ANY repeating byte for say, six or more repeats
in a row? This would squeeze anything down, including 'white' and 'black'
bytes. Just a thought.
