David,

It should have fixed your problem.  Did you change the ModDrv setting in your module.conf file?  The newer versions of the engine cache all module.conf file under the mods.d/ folder, so if there is a cache file there, be sure to delete it if you are editing by hand (the engine refreshes this cache if it is installing modules).

Hi Greg,

FWIW using ztext4 as the ModDrv did not solve my aforementioned buffer issue.

Has anyone successfully used imp2vs with the -4 option ?

I think there is still reason for compression in transit and at rest. But I think Karl might be right that we should just look to de-compress the entire file at open to speed subsequent access.

I also think it might be worthwhile to change the tools to defaulting to the 4-byte versions rather than the 2-byte versions. The usability wins there are significant with basically no downside. The saving of 2 bytes in an offset is basically zero.

    Also just as telephones get more powerful people develop new
    small devices. I would think that smart watches and whatever else
    will eventually attract attention by one developer or another.

    Except when we do … how is that Internet working in the rural
    India? I thought that particularly sword-related applications are
    meant to work for missionaries in environment hostile not only
    from the legal point of view.

    We are told that [St. Anthony] once fell into dejection, finding
    uninterrupted contemplation above his strength; but was taught to
    apply himself at intervals to manual labour by a vision of an
    angel who appeared platting mats of palm-tree leaves, then rising
    to pray, and after some time sitting down again to work; and who
    at length said to him, “Do thus, and thou shalt be saved.”
