- compression parameters wedged in;

- one can specify a few different methods;

- default specs can be changed by the compression manager.

• Compression is done at the request time, using TIFF/MTIF/XWD/PGM files from flat/TEDS databases
• Decompression is done when unpacking packed.dat, into PGM
• Compressed code is communicated in binary (following a standard OTH ASCII header)
• Compression is performed by a plug-in. If it fails, the entire stderr is sent as a trouble report to the client.
