After updating our application (vfp9 sp2) to the latest version of XFRX, we noticed that our compiled exe’s have a much lower compression rate. The size of the generated exe’s and included xfrx files remained about the same, but while before we could compress the files to 20% of the original size, now it’s just 80%. This makes our updates a lot bigger and harder to transfer over the internet.

We’re using 7-zip to create the archives, but tried other compression software with the same result.



Any idea what could have caused this change ?


thnx
