iolo Posted August 28, 2002 Share Posted August 28, 2002 For me they're just too big for my mail server so my opponents and I have to zip and unzip them. Brings them from ~465k to ~85k. I think that even if you don't have such a strict mail server, 500k/file is a little hefty. Please consider adding compression/decompression to the PBEM save file. There are tons of brilliant (and free) libraries available, and if my memory serves me correctly one of Eiffel's strengths is that you can use C and C++ libraries.

Hubert Cater Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 It's something I will look into for the future... although zipping may still be necessary since some ISP's strip the PBEM files unless zipped or something similar.
