Actually, I'm replying to this because I had another idea. If it's possible to read/write to the video framebuffer while compressing/decompressing. Then we could put the 32K lookback buffer into the video memory (where it's going to end up anyway) I'm not familiar enough with the code yet to know if you can call readvideo() from decoder() though.
You are full of good ideas but let me play devil's advocate. If our top priority is getting off the medium memory model, then what's the point? Just use Libpng the first second we have a flat memory version (e.g. Xfractint right now). If we want to extend the life of the old DOS version and add features, then your idea comes into play. Tim
