Introduction
------------

Welcome to RComp. This little program attempts to compress your data
to allow you to store more things on your SSDs, or the internal 'disc'.
It is a basic form of RLE compression, so it should work best with
pictures. Savings of 50% are possible on, for example, "Screen.pic".
It will fail with more "random" data (this file, for example!).



Installation
------------

Copy "RComp.opa" into the "APP" directory of your organiser. In the
Desktop (System screen) press Acorn-I (Psion-I) to install "RComp" as
an application.

You may either read "RComp.pdf" on your PC, or copy RComp.wrd into the
"WRD" directory of your organiser, and read it in Write (Word).


If you wish to tweak the software, copy "rcomp.opl" into the "OPL"
directory, and "rcomp.pic" into the "OPD" directory of your organiser.



Compatibility
-------------

RComp was written and translated on a 256Kb Acorn PocketBook II (which
is a rebadged Psion 3A). It will, therefore, work with models that are
compatible with the 3A.
It may (or may not?) work with the Sienna due to the reduced screen
width.

It probably won't work with the original PocketBook (series 3) for the
same reasons, however the source code is provided so that you may
tweak it if necessary.
