bzip2 Compression

Post by lohill » Tue Jan 19, 2021 7:02 pm

Is there a LiveCode function or command that will compress a string using bzip2 compression that can be used to compress a URL.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Regards, Larry

Hi Larry,

LC only provides the -> compress() function which uses the "zlib compression library".
