I think it's good and works well. Sure, if you don't have any local restrictions (bandwidth limits, mail attachment limits, slow upload time, limited disk size, or similar), it may not matter as much to you personally. But overall it's still a useful tool. The obvious answer is to make sure, before distributing anything, that it still works once packed. Then, try to make sure it will unpack correctly (and still function, even if not always byte-exact). There are always going to be corner cases, but mostly that isn't worth worrying about, AFAIK. Though you could also argue that the real solution is to not need to compress in the first place. But that is a much harder, more time-consuming dilemma (regarding compilers, linkers, libraries, etc). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Accelerate Dev Cycles with Automated Cross-Browser Testing - For FREE Instantly run your Selenium tests across 300+ browser/OS combos.
