>A formal standard for a compact binary format would be nice. I have some >suggestions there. I'd be glad to see your suggestions. But the case for the need of a compact binary format (it was called "PGC" in the old specification) must show why today's gzip and its friends are significantly less suitable. A few percentage points of improvement in speed or size may not be worth the burden of having to support a baroque coding mechanism. The late Paul Onstad published material on a PGC format including code and a DLL. His programs which used this compressed form of PGN and the code for PGC can be found at www.pgn.freeservers.com.
