COMPRESS
EXPAND

Syntax: COMPRESS filename
   and: EXPAND filename
Location: COMPICT

COMPRESS takes the current screen contents and compresses them, saving the picture in its compressed form in the stated file.

EXPAND then takes this compressed file and re-expands it on screen.

Example:
COMPRESS flp2_TITLE_scr

NOTE:
COMPRESS temporarily needs 64K of working space and will report an error if this is not available.  Unfortunately the file stays open if this happens and cannot be accessed until is is closed with CLOSE% or a desktop program such as QPAC 2 (channels menu).

CROSS-REFERENCE:
Screens which have been saved with COMPRESS can be re-loaded from memory with FASTEXPAND.
See also SCR_STORE.
