Simple, they lied.
Really Sportman, has there ever been a compression con job that you didn't
believe was for real?
You always seem willing to accept any claim without demanding testing by
independant testers first. Don't you get it, for years we have seen claims
like this come and go and they all have the same common theme about requiring
more money for further development.

Read the website and some of the people explaining the systeem. Really, the
best way to say this is that marketing is playing very loose with the truth.
This system compresses no better than any other data backup out there. It's
claim to fame is the ability to spot duplicate files in other directories.
Use this system on your standard drive and you see very little compression,
however in big business enterprises the users tend to have the same files in
thier personal directories. Examples e-mail or PowerPoint demos sent out on
a large mailing list, standard programs (games, screen savers, etc) that are
traded around the office instead of being stored in a central location by the
IT department. This system claims to do a better job of finding dups than
other programs out there.
