CrossePAC is the ONLY data compression utility capable of
producing non-binary archive files! CrossePAC archives can be written in pure TEXT, 7-bit ASCII, or 8-bit binary formats depending on your
needs. TEXT format archives are just that....pure, printable, line-oriented text files that are completely portable across virtually
any communications medium and to any system! 7-bit ASCII format archives can be line or stream oriented and are well-suited when sending
files to a mainframe or minicomputer that does not support 8-bit connections. Binary archives use the full 8 bits of each byte and can
maximize compression in those cases where 8 bit communications and portability are not a problem. Best of all, THESE ARCHIVE FORMATS ARE
COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT OF THE TYPE OF DATA THEY CONTAIN! You can put a DOS executable file (.EXE), spreadsheet, or graphics image in a TEXT
format archive! CrossePAC archives can be used to compress and format binary data so that it can be safely "included" in Internet mail
messages.
