If you want a trusted party, please feel free to use me. I'm a CS and math major at Carnegie Mellon, so I pretty well know my stuff and would be willing to give an honest opinion. Also, my opinion tends to be pretty well-respected when it comes to programming issues around these parts. In any event, send me an email (FIRSTprograms@mn.rr.com) with the compressor/decompressor and I'll test it and post results to CD within a few hours.
