Styled Text compression

[Steve Warwick <ukla at mediaone dot net>]

Hey All,

I'm having a problem with Styled Text.I need to read the styled text file
in, compress, write back out. Then, later, read in, decompress and display
the styled text.
 

So, I need to compress styled text AND make it cross platform.

I can read/write the styled text file using open/save styledtext,
X-platform - OK

I can do the de/compression with Einhugers Zip plugin,
X-platform - OK

I've read the styled text files as text and as binary but keep loosing the
styles when I do this.



Any suggestions? 


Steve
