First, this 'format' uses a set of 6 different compression types as well as uncompressed blocks of byte data. The formats are RLE, an offshoot of RLE wher...

I have noticed though that for a long time (at least 6 months) the website has a "New Site Under Construction" notice, saying that it will be ready by September 2008.
