just a note:

this function is great, however, it takes nearly forever to compress a bitmap of dimensions greater than 800 pixels.

bitmaps bigger than 1000 pixels actually fail to return out of the compression routine.

Good job @Hellhound

too late, I did it last year

Thanks for the code,

Yes, thanks!

This line slows it down like hell. I didn't optimize it at all ( as I wrote in the first post). Every time I must search the whole array. Normally I would include another array of arrays to sort the indices to the first entry values.
I think so I would be able to improve it to 0.5MB a second.

Thanks for the information. I will look it up some time (LZS).
Perhaps I will upgrade the PB code as I did it with my C++ code (that I posted in the same thread, have a look).

Aah, LHA. Of course I know LHA. I used it for years ^^.
And 16 years ago, I started progamming with Pascal, so this would be no big deal.
Unfortunately, my free time runs low, becuase of my job (soldier) and my family, that has got priority one for me.
Thanks for the detailed information, Doc.
