[CF-Devel] Compression

[crossfire-devel at archives.real-time.com]

I think that is an excellent idea. Perhaps using the zlib compression,
which is standard, you can send more data as quickly.
I frequently experiance lag on broadband. if Cf worked on dial up,
think how much better. Perhaps using a system library,
like libz, is better. But having compressed maps sent over is really neat.

     Thoughts? (Would speed things up for dialup users).
