Hi Ralf, |
39 |
|
40 |
I have a damn slow Internet connection and searching through |
41 |
millions of digits is not always provided. Despite that: I want |
42 |
to do more with that digits, I have to download them again and |
43 |
again. Its better to get a copy of the 2014th version of PI for |
44 |
later reference local on my hd. |
45 |
|
46 |
I am currently checking the compression tools I know of for the |
47 |
best compression ration. But I will definitly miss those I dont |
48 |
know... |
49 |
And sometimes one can do magic with option and switches of that |
50 |
kind of tools I also dont know of. |
51 |
|
52 |
If someone has suggestions....always appreciated! :) |
53 |

Best regards, |
