I don't know if anyone else actually uses this, but I bolted ZX0 decompression support into bin2cas.pl (uses the "salvador" external tool for compression). Achieves better compression than dzip, but needs a larger decompressor. With thanks to Doug Masten for writing a 6809 unpacker (slightly optimised for space to get it into a filename block along with other features).

Oh cool, good to know! The ZX0 compression really is a lot better; noticeably slower decompression, but not too bad (and more than made up for in reduced loading time). It's worth giving it a go (much as it might be "NIH" )
