I'm looking for text compression code which will be used to compress blocks
of text 1K-30K in size.  It should be able to compress/decompress a 30K
block in somewhere around 10 seconds on an AT-class machine.  The text will
be source for a programming language, so there will be a lot of common 
strings to take advantage of.

Compression should be better than Huffman-coding since that's what we're 
using now.

Naturally it will have to allow for 64K segments.

All pointers to something appropriate will be gratefully received ...
