Hi guys,

See the following example:

help, /mem
aa=fltarr(240,360,24,47,2)
help, /mem

IDL returns:
heap memory used: 708636, max: 780382426, gets: 13719,
frees: 12874
heap memory used: 780382333, max: 780382428, gets: 13731,
frees: 12885

That's 780 Mb for one big array. My question is if there is a way to
store this array (in memory) compressed. I'm developing an application
and I don't know if that's possible in order to use less RAM of the
computer.
Thanks,

nata
