"method 02 for the wonderful "deflate" algorithm which comes from the
"zip"-people."
- it's the new All Your Base! The invasion of the
zip-people!
(sorry, couldn't resist. Back to reality...)
The idea is sound, but including compression and encryption *within* the
data files is questionable; there is a justifiable (but also
attackable) argument for putting encryption and compression at the
transport level, rather than the encoding level.
Also, chunks are given numeric IDs, rather than human readable names; this
means that uses of the format aren't particularly meaningful without
external documentation stating the allocation of numeric IDs.
Hmmm...
