Compressing a number of files and attaching to an email usually requires a utility like Winzip. However, B.N.Kailas Nath, a 1st year student of B.Sc Honours at Middlesex University, London has come up with a tool ‘crunch’ that does this on-the-fly.
His site http://krun.ch offers the facility of ‘crunching’ upto 10 files on the web and sending to 2 email IDs. The files could be from the local computer or the web itself. And the crunched files will be kept live at his site for 24 hours.
According to Kailas Nath, the response to the service has been good. The program is not meant as a substitute to any other tool, but is meant to ease the use of web, he says.
Son of P.Balakumaran Nair and Nalini from Kozhikode, he had completed Plus 2 from the Silver Hills HS School before joining the London college. Even as a 9th standard student, he had created ripples by devising a simple blogging program.
