WinCompressX is a small utility that enables a feature in MacOS X 10.1 called Window Buffer Compression.

This feature compresses the memory used by the windows that haven't been used for a period of time, which saves valuable RAM.

This feature wasn't enabled by default in 10.1 so this program will modify the correct preferences file to enable it.

What's New:
Changed version checking so that it will run on system greater than 10.1 (previous versions stopped working at 10.1.4). Prelimary testing shows that the current beta builds of Jaguar (10.2) doesn't have this feature enabled, so this hack "should" work on Jaguar as well, but I am not sure if the new Quartz Extreme video rendering makes this program useless or not. Nonetheless, I have modified it to work under 10.2.
