 exhal and inhal are tools designed to decompress and recompress/insert data used by several NES, SNES and Game Boy games developed by HAL Laboratory. 
 
 Due to the design of the original decompression algorithm (and hardware limitations), the size of a file to be compressed is limited to 64 kilobytes (65,536 bytes). Please note that depending on which system you are working with, the actual useful limit may be much smaller.
 
-Files compressed using exhal can often be smaller than their original compressed forms in the source ROMs, likely due to some shortcuts taken by the original development tools. In addition, version 1.10 nicely optimizes the compression process and is about 4x faster than before.
+The compression routine used by inhal is very fast and capable of producing output which is smaller than that of HAL's original compressor.
