"condensed file" and "impressed file"

Hi, I'm also asking: do they mean "compressed file"?

Sounds like a tech question, in which case I can't help you but if you post in the computer section I'm sure you'll get an answer.

"condensed file" and "impressed file" are not computer science terms, and probably do not mean anything

condensed means that the unimportant information has been removed, so that what you have is more concentrated

however, this does does not apply to files...more to solutions or food products. if you are talking about a file, you say it is "compressed"

impressed means that something has been physically pushed into it to make an indentation of some kind of pattern

I'd agree with stuh, I've never heard of a computer file being called "condensed" or "impressed".

A compressed file is one that has been shrunk in size using a utility such as phzip™ or stuffit™.

I know of compressed files, but I don't know what to make of condensed or impressed ones. Are they supposed to be something to do with a computer?

fortune, like i said before, they do not have anything to do with computer science.

Stuh, I know what you said, I read your post. I didn't ask if they were computer terms, I was actually more interested in what the original questin was about, whether firefly_1224 was under the impression that they were computer science terms or whether s/he was referring to something else, something of which we hadn't yet thought. Just trying to get things as clear as possible.
