This months issue of "Computer Graphics World", in the
"Graphics Technology" section, describes an image compression
technique called "Chaotic Compression" which is supposed to
yield exact image compression ratios as high as 1,000,000 to 1.

The article attempts to hint at the algorithm, but winds up
not making any sense.  Does anyone have any information?

Along the same lines, HyperCard utilizes some new image compaction
algorithms yielding (I think) 200-1 compression.  Does anyone know what
Atkinson's trick is?
