I don't really understand Battle Bunny's code, but it seems it's using a 6900 byte buffer for the encoding. So, that routine might not be so useful after all. Well, I'll write him a message anyway, maybe he's willing to help me out. -

Thank you so much for getting back into developing this, Battle Bunny. This won't just be useful for my TI editor. I see a lot of potential for all sorts of Z80-based utilities that produce data.
