Looking for pointers to any/all source code/algorithms for data compression
routines.  Probably will be interested mostly in ascii text files, but may
want to be compressing binary also, so any info I can get would be GREAT!

I already know about LZW, and have heard about adaptive LZW (how does this
work?).  I've also seen at least one Arithmetic encoding scheme.  Anyone
know about where to find this stuff?  All help greatly appreciated.
Please respond through e-mail to wainscot@math.berkeley.edu   If sufficient
interest, I will post summary to net.  Thanks!
