Abstract
Data stored in a block of first memory is updated over a LAN. The block is larger than the unused part of a second memory. After compressing the data it is transferred over a LAN to a device where the first and second memory are located. The data is decompressed in increments smaller than the unused part of the second memory and then written to the first memory.
