help me find a compressor
ZXNet echo conference «zxnet.soft»
Hello, All
friends, help me find an old compressor... year of creation approximately 91-92
I first saw data packed with this compressor in a demo from ZYX (huge
the number of music from games and a scroller in the middle third of about forty minutes). Farovskie
plugins recognize it as CC4
nothing special in terms of compression (byte stream, RLE, links back (LZ87)), but
there are several interesting features:
- separate codes for sequences 0 and 0xff
- codes for arithmetic sequences (first term and term)
- codes for repeating bytes coming after one/two bytes
- codes for packaging sequences with small scatter (<16)
- and others
if there is an unpacker in the attachment...

ZYX's packed this demo with their own ZYX's packer

i.e. didn't it exist as a separate application?

elf> i.e. did it not exist as a separate application?
Well, if it existed, it was only apparently for internal use....

Not only that, I definitely have it, but now I still can’t get to the disks.
Hello Titus
a little offtopic....
and about their most famous demo (the most musical demo, also probably
everyone also knows their most beautiful boot of all time) - not only that
that, as often happens, messages to some people are hidden behind zero attributes
people, they are also written in hex format... at one time I only mastered
half of one of them, I didn’t have enough for more...
Hello elf/2
elf> i.e. did it not exist as a separate application?
It still existed, and was at one time the most popular, because it was very
It pressed well, although it had a rather slow unpacker.

guys, please share... ideally the packer itself, but at least
name (I'll try to look for it myself then)

I don’t remember exactly its name, but in my opinion, the name contained the word ZYX: v2_blush:

Something like ZYXcomp.B, interface without anything, black screen, white letters, original.
That's roughly what I remember.
Hello bpm
I think I found exactly what I needed. There is still a lot of unnecessary garbage on the disk,
but I leave it as it is.

I have it in my NOSTALGY ZX SPECTRUM collection. Two archivists under both
named names. It looks like there is the same file inside both archives. vBv.
