Out of the box testing:
- Open RLE.py
- Edit wordSize variable to be either 8,16,32,64

For linux:
- Run compression test: python3 compressionTest.py
For Windows:
- change directory to <c:\python..>
- Run compression test: python compressionTest.py

If you want to create your own .so/.dll:

LINUX:
	- run makefile
	- Open RLE.py
	- Edit wordSize variable to be either 8, 16, 32, 64.
	- Run compression test: 'python3 compressionTest.py'

This will create the .so's for the various versions of ewah.

WINDOWS:
	- create dll via visual studio or command
	- change directory to c:\... Microsoft Visual Studio/VC/bin
	- command: cl /LD <directory of ewah.cpp>
	- copy: copy ewah.dll <directory of RLE.py,compressionTest.py...>
	- Open RLE.py
	- Edit wordSize variable to be either 8, 16, 32, 64.
	- change directory to your python3 directory <c:\python...>
	- Run compression test: 'python compressionTest.py'

This will create  .dlls  for the various versions of ewah in  <c:\... Microsoft Visual Studio/VC/bin> and copy it to the folder where the other 
source files are.

Note: For 64 bit window's .dll, it is better to use visual studio 2010. One must also use python3-64 bit.
