Skipped - No net gain achieved


This means that after ZSPack has attempted to compress a file, it checks 
if an Effective reduction in the disk space utilisation has been achieved. 

If none is achieved, then the file is skipped.  In this case compression 
is of no benefit. 
This situation can occur when the file is small or very low Actual 
compression has been achieved. 

Example 
A file 'letter.doc' occupies 900 bytes, and this is 2 disk blocks in a 
HPFS partition. 
After compression it is reduced in size to 600 bytes (a 33 percent Actual 
reduction). 
However, 2 blocks are still required to store the file, so there has been 
no effective saving.
