LHARC... current version seems to be v2.10 or v2.11, and probably the most
efficient packer out there.  There has been a big deal made on
comp.sources.unix lately about Y and AP coding (yabba and all-prefixes,
although AP is patented by James Storer), but they aren't as efficient as 
they would be if they had a Huffman or Shannon-Fano front end.
