May an innocent ask a couple of questions. Doesn't Information Theory set a limit on the degree of compression (of given data) possible? If you go beyond this limit do you not necessarily lose information? Is this view accepted by the fractal compression salesmen? Do they perhaps accept that information is lost, but claim that it is second-rate information? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: tim@maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
