- I have to try this program out!
- I have an idea. If there is enough processing time
- you could do a simple run length encoding scheme to compress the data, I know
- this could cause all sorts of timing problems but probably not impossible. I
- would assume that when you are recording the data it changes at a low frequency
- and the precise timing of the changes are what really would need to be stored.
- How much would it take to modify your code for this.
-
- ps. Symbolic assemblers are great! I have only used geoProgrammer, it allows
- you to do all the other stuff that others do and also write Geos applications.
