Has anyone created any compression routines in Icon?  I know of
Robert Alexander's LZW compression utility, but, as he notes, it
contains a lot of tracing and tests, and it much too slow for
practical use.  If anyone has written, say, a Huffmon encoding
routine in Icon, I'd love to have it and not have to write it my-
self....
