How do convert binary and decompress compression?

 [1/2] from: princepawn::lycos::com at: 7-Sep-2000 6:13


How do you convert binary back to ascii? How do you decompress something that is compressed? --- On Tue, 5 Sep 2000 11:31:11 ryanc wrote:

You should try and use 'help and 'what a bit more, they can help you find functions and and find out what they do. e.g If I wanted to know how to decompress, I would type.
>> ? decompress
Help also works with searches on data types e.g to return a list of functions you can use
>> what
or
>> ? function!
It also matches partial words e.g
>> ? comp
Found these words: complement (action) compose (native) compress (native) decompress (native) To find a list of conversion functions try this
>> ? to-
You will be surprised how many questions REBOL can answer for you. Cheers, Allen K
