Thomas) Organization: University of Utah CS Dept Lines: 17 Well, I gave it a try. Nothing like the old experimental approach. I chose the technote #176 file, since it was nice and big. The original posting contained four files, put together with packit. Here are the numbers. orig file .hqx .hqx.Z Original posting (packited) 154194 203165 92921 Stuffit of posting 66066 90012 81801 Note that the .hqx of the stuffit version is shorter than the compressed .hqx of the original! You don't gain much by compressing the .hqx of the stuffit file, though. (Stuffit used LZW compression throughout.) =Spencer ({ihnp4,decvax}!utah-cs!thomas, thomas@cs.utah.edu)
