will gzip be supported in the future?
and will there be any other that the file can be substantialy reduced in size?

Probably. The simple method I used with Pocket Quake 1 was extremely inefficient, and would be more so with Quake 2. So I decided to hold off and implement something better.

Dan, have you considered using the method used in Hexen? They also used gZip, but they had some sort of indexing system I believe. It was a long time since I read about it, but aparently it works great.

I sent the author emails some time ago and never received any response. I would like to stay away from requiring a PC-based utility that would be needed to compress the pak file into a proprietary format.

That is the one good thing about the gzip technique I used with PQ1; it is just a plain gzip'ed file.
