I seem to remember that Byte Boiler bugged once in a while (data was corrupted somehow, so it didn't decompress correctly), so I switched to The Cruncher AB, Darksqueezer and/or Pu-Crunch. |

All of the named packers use the 2Mhz mode on a C128. So with a REU and a C128 you only need 1 (in words: one!) minute to pack nearly everything... |

acessing the vdc mem is slow, but eventho +64k can make things much faster with a clever algorythm. |
