Hi!
i'm new in PureBasic, but since i've been using i think it is really simple and really powerfull!Congratulations!
i was about to start a project that would use packer compression...

'PureBasic JCalG1 incorporated compression algo' is enough?

Well, JCalG1 was not created by us.
The page of the author is here: http://www.bitsum.com/jcalg1.htm

As far as i know, there is no requirement to put any notice in your
program. It is always nice to give credit to the autor and provide a link though.

There's a license file in the jcalg1 zip that says:
