| Sep 12, 2014 at 9:03 | comment | added | David Richerby | The question is, is it possible to compress files by writing them in base-80? The answer to that is "no", as you mention in your first sentence and as all the other answers already cover. Your second paragraph is a comment about the question. Comments go in comments. | |
