/ File-Compression Technology
RMX Technologies has developed Rush, an encoding technology that, RMX claims, can shrink some files by up to 95 percent of the original size. RMX has kits available, starting at $5000, for developers who want to use this technology. Rush is able to encode parts of a file's data structure without mathematical compression, though you can use standard math-b
ased compression on Rush-encoded files to further reduce file size. Rush is tailored to shrink graphics files. You can view the files with most Web browsers or through plug-ins.
