Alright heres an update on how build 5 is going:
I was going to try a new method I had came up with about a day ago cause I thought it would be a little better. After running a few tests on it, I found out that only some files ran better then the past method, and sometimes the files even got larger. I havent finished fully testing this program because when a file is being changed through a pass, it ends up with a totally different make-up inside of it which means that it could actually regain the lost bytes and compress below the original file. Although the 1st method is a little more complex, I should still be able to meet that dead line I gave before if anything doesnt 'pop-up' (Life stuff). And if something does happen, it wont delay the test by much. Im putting as much time as I can into programming it right now and dont have work for the next couple of days.

I am taking a break from that method and moving back into the first which I thought was going to be very slow, but I redesigned most of it to make it actually faster then the new method. Ive checked a couple of the files after a couple of runs by hand to see if the data is coming out right and everything seems fine. Thats about it for now.

edit - Some good news is though that I had finished the compressor before for the first method so I can basically copy most of the functions over and with some changes in file set up it should be good to go.
