SYNOPSIS

String compressString( String instr )

ARGUMENTS

instr The String to compress

DESCRIPTION

Compress a string using zlib and returned a base64-encoded compressed string. If compression fails, a Compress.CompressionFailed(3kaya) Exception will be thrown. Note that because base64-encoding increases the space required, if the compression factor is small, the compressed string may be larger than the original! In this case converting the string to Binary form and using compressBinary may be better.
