More on why you can trust me not to steal your ideas:
1. Eagle Scout
2. Well-respected around here
3. Other teams have trusted me (on numerous occasions) with their top-secret code for their robot in order to get some feedback on it. In ALL cases, I respected their wishes and never divulged any details. In fact, even if a team came up with a really cool idea (which many did), I didn't even incorporate it into my own team's code out of respect for the original programmers wishes.

Please, if you want people to believe you about this new compression scheme, I'm your guy. Send me a working compressor and/or decompressor and I promise to provide an honest opinion as well as keeping everything completely confidential. I will NOT, however, endorse a compression scheme simply because you know how to use Excel and make lots of pretty graphs.

Also, if all you haven't actually programmed the compressor/decompressor yet, then just send me a short (1-2 paragraph) description of how you plan to do it and I will give you as much feedback as I can on the feasibility of your scheme.

I have a full running compressor, but it was really messy, slow, and had no options as in selecting a file name and what not. I have been working on a new compressor portion that used bit operations that i really hadnt thought about when making the first one. So the new one is like 500 lines shorter and alot faster but not finished yet because it does not output it to a file to be recompressed.

I can give you build 1 of the compressor and a word document of how it works if you like. The document pretty much shows how it can reverse and how it compresses / uncompresses. Ill try to send you it by tonight because I have to leave in 30 minutes for a couple of hours but when i come back I should have plenty of time.
