I couldn't find the issue of the CACM in which the article Marcos
sought was published, but I did dig out my (hand typed from the
article) copy of the code (it was in C, not Forth).  I ran a test with
it against the newly published M-W variant of L-Z encoding, and
published my results together with the C source code in alt.sources
for the amusement and edification of the net.  Included in my brief
report is a suggestion for possible new applications of adaptive
arithmetic encoding to UUCP file transmission.
