Thanks Mark Adler for your very detailed insights

I'm sorry, but the information given above sounds contradictory to me (maybe I don't understand well enough) First it is said that Method 8 uses the Deflate compression method and then (Method 8 also has a means to effectively store the data with

no compression

and relatively little expansion, and Method 0 cannot be streamed whereas Method 8 can be.) did I get this right? or does "compression" mean something else then deflate.. Im confused Can you please be of any help?

thanks in advance,

sincerely,

Nisang
