-
- CMP is a file compression program. It is intended to work with
- the "On This Day" events database program, but can be used as a
- general purpose compression program, nonetheless. To get the
- original file back from a compressed program, use the UCMP
- program.
-
- We are NOT attempting in any way to compete with existing general
- purpose compression programs. ARC, LHARC, PKZIP, etc. are all
- fine products and deserve your support if you are looking for a
- fast and optimal compression program. CMP was developed to
- provide the ability to keep databases for "On This Day" in a
- compressed form so as to minimize disk usage, yet not have to be
- uncompressed before OTD was run.
-
- For our databases, we have found that we can achieve roughly a
- 33% reduction in size.
-
- The syntax of the command line is:
-
- CMP <original file> <compressed file>
-
- <original file> and <compressed file> may not be the same name.
-
- Please note that CMP is NOT to be shared with other users. It is
- not distributed under the Shareware concept and remains under the
- strictest copyright limitations. It is provided as one benefit
- of having registered OTD.
