 Can anybody provide some pointers to source for effective compressors such
as lharc (ftp, fish disk etc.), or to litterature describing algorithms?
This would help people who(like me) would consider doing a compression
file system, but can't afford the time to delve into the deep reals of
AmigaDOS AND at the same time doing extensive math/statistic analysis or
whatever might be nessesary to provide good/fast compression.

	Thanks in advance

	Kristian.
