| Creation of the "Down Pillow"
Compression Algorithm Control
Codes: Step 4 of 88
I am posting a series of steps
to comp.compression so that
there can be an external record
of my efforts to create a
sucessful copy of control codes
to use in the "Down Pillow"
compression algorithm as
discussed earlier this year.
Please disregard these posts
if you value your time; time
is money of course. You are
warned up front, so don't
accuse me of wasting your time.
Concern yourself only if I am
sucessful. If that time comes
you will have access to everything
you need to know in the archive.
But, if you are like me and love
wasting your time on frivolous
pursuits play along with me if
you dare.

Step 4 of 88
Convert each file created in
Step three into a 10-character
column ascii file.
Convert DPC03_01.DAT into DPC04_01.DAT
Convert DPC03_02.DAT into DPC04_02.DAT
Convert DPC03_03.DAT into DPC04_03.DAT
Convert DPC03_04.DAT into DPC04_04.DAT
Convert DPC03_05.DAT into DPC04_05.DAT
Convert DPC03_06.DAT into DPC04_06.DAT
Convert DPC03_07.DAT into DPC04_07.DAT
Convert DPC03_08.DAT into DPC04_08.DAT
Convert DPC03_09.DAT into DPC04_09.DAT
The following Qbasic Program is
what I use to perform the file
modification.
-----------------------------
REM Program: RND16FMT.BAS
REM This program formats a pseudo-randomized
' hexadecimal (16-base) ascii file into
' 10 character column and then prints to
' an ascii file.
INPUT "input file ", q$
INPUT "output file ", q1$
OPEN "R", #1, q$, 10
FIELD #1, 10 AS a$
OPEN "O", #2, q1$
LET c# = LOF(1) / 10
FOR b# = 1 TO c#
GET #1, b#
PRINT #2, a$
NEXT b#
CLOSE
END
--------------------------------
More to follow.
