I know that schemes have been proposed for higher performance encoding/decoding, for packed encoding/decoding, and for encrypted encoding/decoding. What I would like to know, is what stage these proposals are in (DP, DIS ...) and if I could somehow obtain early specifications? Any help would be greatly appreciated, Patrick Gainer (416) 448-4482 gainer@torolab5.vnet.ibm.com
