Compression Functions

SIMPOL provides some basic compression and decompression functions for compressing strings and blobs. Currently there is only one of each type, listed below:

  • .compress1()

  • .decompress1()

The functions will normally be supplied in pairs. The names of the current set end in the digit 1, primarily to make clear that they are not the only version nor are they very likely to be the last version as well as to associate them with each other. For the actual usage details see the Intrinsic Compression Functions section in the "SIMPOL Language Reference".
