Compression was about 10% better than 16-bit compress (Ziv Lempel Welch compression with 9 bit codes expanding to up to 16 bits). I'm going to do some large scale testing to make sure this is reliable. If anybody wants a copy of the source code suitable for SunOS 4.0 (and probably many other unices) send me eMail. The only major change is replacing ints with shorts. +----------------+----------------------------------------------------------+ | Joel Spolsky | bitnet: spolsky@yalecs.bitnet uucp: ...!yale!spolsky | | | internet: spolsky@cs.yale.edu voicenet: 203-436-1483 | +----------------+----------------------------------------------------------+ #include
