OK, had a brief look
ZIP support is REALLY great! saves lots of space.
maybe Keyb or Display projects can borrow your code for this since they have many files, bunt only a single one is used. zip them up :)
DISPLAY: Actually the file is opened by "MODE", copied ino a memory image, and a pointer passed to DISPLAY. So it would be a question of MODE doing that. Eric, could you put this as wish for MODE?
On DISPLAY's side there's another thing that could be done: the fonts can be set in a format called DR-FONTs, where they are compressed. However, I don't know much about this format, and I don't know if Henrique is able to create CPIs that have DR-FONTs instead of fonts. So previous approach seems more sensible.
KEYB: I may consider this afterwards, note however that the main program is still TP, although I have thought of porting it to TC (the resident code is TASM, so that wouldn't be affected I guess). I don't like the idea of linking C code with the TP code, because I don't know if I can control where the C object code will be placed. And KEYB depends much on the fact that the resident code comes first. But will have a look later.
*Xkeyb mentioned while working quite some time with Keyb2.0 prototypes (4b currently)
I can help here if need be.
Actually the first official pre-release is to come soon. I am just optimising a bit, and writing the documentation for the pack, but it is ready.
