[REBOL] Re: Compress vs gzip/zlib

Hi Jose
RT has stated that REBOL compression uses the same algorithm as gzip, but
REBOL does not create the gzip header.

Subject: [REBOL] Compress vs gzip/zlib
I4ve compressed a text file first with REBOL's
compress
write/binary %file.comp compress read/binary %file
and then with the gzip utility and found out that the
files only differ by a few bytes.
If I look at the binary stream it looks like that
except for a few bytes at the beginning the rest is
the same.
Can anybody shed some light on this ? It would be
useful to have compatibility with gzip
Thanks
Jose
