   I'm looking for an article about "Arithmetic Coding Compression"
   which appeared in one of the ACM SIG publications a few months ago. 
   Unfortunately I don't know more than that, so I'm having trouble
   getting a copy of the article.  If you remember reading about this
   please mail me.  (The article apparently include FORTH code, which
   might help to jog your memory.)

Try this.  The code is in C, not FORTH.

``Arithmetic Coding for Data Compression.''
