Well I'm having a conversation with myself here, but I can't seem to get the decompress() function to work. it keeps giving me an unhelpful error:
Script compile error: Error description: Object Name: If I feed it binary data that came from compress(), it's fine and dandy. But send it anything else and the script aborts with that error. You would think it would return a helpful error value if the data was malformed in some way. And it seems not to like the data I need to re-inflate. ~ Chris Innanen ~ Nonsanity On Thu, Feb 24, 2011 at 4:08 PM, Nonsanity <[email protected]> wrote: > Never thee mind...
