G'day,
I have been onto FIF compression for about 6 months now. We have bought the
ColourBox program as well as the APW linker.

Unfortunately I am still having problems getting it to work on our machines.
Have tried it on 3 different brands of PC's to no avail. However, I know
that it has worked for a firm in Melbourne.

Our problem has the Australian supplier stumped. But to be fair they are
trying!!!

The Fractal compression demo's shipped with ColourBox work fine on my machine.
Its just that I can't get the decompression to display in APW.

So, whilst it seems to be a good thing, and i'me sure it is, all is not rosy
yet.

Just my 10 cents worth.

I'll keep you posted on developments as they occur.
