(Sliding Dict + Multiple Shannon-Fano Trees) Message-ID: <90235.203843SAAAA02@cc1.kuleuven.ac.be> Date: 23 Aug 90 20:36:43 GMT Organization: K.U.Leuven - Academic Computing Center Lines: 14 Is there anybody who could explain me the following algorithms in brief : Data Compression with Sliding Dictionaries with Multiple Shannon-Fano trees ? Our University library doesn't seem to have books on data compression, neither do the bookstores in our neighbourhood. Or if it is too difficult to mail me a brief explanation, could you please point out a few good references. Thanks in advance !!! Let's hope those algorithms don't get patented.
