Ah, you're not using the latest version...
It now has easier controls, on http://oric.free.fr/TAPES/proton.zip
(and source code too... quite funny to see that for a 1K binary, a very sparsely commented source is 16K, or 10 pages long...

Argh, I forgot to count the 2^(n-1) bytes for the table of compressed values... This makes the compression gain negative in all cases, ouch... I understand that changing the location of zero page variables to addresses having the same value than the most common values can lead to better compression ...

Ok, reading the readme file suggests that some programs might not have a positive reduction, so before trying to port the program to the Oric, I'm doing some stats on my minigame... If I understand well, n bits are used for coding the 2^(n-1) most common values, and 9 bits for the others ? So, if X ...

I've put the code on http://oric.free.fr/TAPES/invasion.bin
It's exactly 1024 bytes, phew...
If you manage to use FilePack, please tell me how well it packs...

Mhhh, still the same problem... this version also outputs a zero-length packed file (or 7 bytes without the -p0 option)... Ok, don't bother, there were few chances that it compressed it enough to leave room for the decompressor anyway... Good luck ! Luck ? this is not a question of luck... :-) Anywa...

I have tried filepack, but it only outputs a 7-bytes file (the LZ77 signature)... I remember having had this problem in the past, but I don't remember how to work around it (I have tried both the July 2002 and the November 2002 versions)... Any hint ? or is it just that it doesn't work with too smal...
