I wonder if there ever was anyone who used any of those!? ;-)               MvdV>> So by all means remove the default for the obscure ones. As        MvdV>> long as the user cam still add a seldom used compression        MvdV>> method.               WV> I meant remove them completely. If I leave them in, I can just as well        WV> keep the defaults...              I was thinking about allowing the user to define his own compression method. A       method that is not in the list (yet). There is an option "Custom" but I am       unsure how that works. It may be usefull in the unlikely eventy an new       compression method pops up that is ideal for use in Fidonet. :)               WV> But on the other hand, why remove them. It doesn't hurt to keep them,        WV> although maybe no one uses them.              I am in favour of throwing out no longer used stuff. KISS..                     Cheers, Michiel              --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20170303        * Origin: http://www.vlist.eu (2:280/5555)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 90/1 103/705 105/81 106/201 123/131 124/5016 129/305       SEEN-BY: 153/757 7715 154/10 203/0 218/700 221/0 1 6 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/110 112 113 206 307 317 426 428 470 550 664 700 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 266/512 280/464 5003 5006 5555 282/1038 291/111       SEEN-BY: 292/789 854 8125 301/1 310/31 317/3 320/219 322/757 335/364       SEEN-BY: 341/66 234 342/200 396/45 423/120 460/58 633/280 712/848       SEEN-BY: 770/1 5019/40 5020/400 5075/35       PATH: 280/5555 464 292/854 229/426           |
