Why not take the compressed file and move it to a base that is extraordinarily huge...

A 3 megabyte file in base10 is how much in base10000? And -- just include a space after every XXXXX XXXXX to seperate them... I figure a small enough algorithm could be coded in ASM to accomplish this and -- since runtime isnt an issue (just that it accomplish it): why wouldnt that work?

Disclaimer: I am sure that I have made some huge mistake here but I can't figure it out.. would love someone to point it out to me...
