CODEC allows :
- to compress in one operating system and decompress in
another, interfacing the physical format of the file
between the same or different environments with regards
to file organization, record format, record length and
block size. For example, it is possible to compress in
IBM's MVS and to decompress in a PC;
- to execute a highly efficient compression (from 1 to
50 times) by means of proprietary algorithms such as
HPBS (High Performance Bit Shrinker);
- to create in any platform a file capable of self decom-
pressing in one of the allowed operating systems ( PC /
OS2 / *IX / VMS / etc...) by means of advanced self
exploding features.
The software shop is organized in two specific areas:
- the first area allows downloading the CODEC package in
shareware mode for the operating system chosen;
- the second area is reserved to Telvox's users who are
regularly registered.
Thank you for your attention and for the time you will spend in
trying our packages.
