Compression and Encryption

[Ray Horsley]

Greetings,

I've run into an interesting compression problem.  The second character in
each line of myData is a tab.

on mouseUp
  put "A    te" into myData
  put "B    te" into line 2 of myData
  put compress(myData) into myDataCompressed
  put decompress(myDataCompressed) into myDataUncompressed
end mouseUp

I get an error trying to decompress this simple bit of data after
compressing it.  Any ideas anyone?

On a related note, if I use the following:

  put mcEncrypt(anyData) into anyDataEncrypted

It works fine.  But how do I get it back out?  There seems to be no
corresponding mcDecrypt() function.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
