I am looking for the best general purpose lossless compression algorithm that
has been developed.  I am sure opinions vary on this, but I would appreciate it
if someone would e-mail me a short description of the algorithm or perhaps an
FTP site where I could pick up either source code or just an algorithm outline.

Thanks in advance.
