Check out 

Data Structure Techniques by Thomas A. Standish.
Published by Addison Wesley 1980.

You might also combine this technique with Karlgrens's representation
also described in the book, if you are compressing text.  It should increase
the ammount of compression you get.  The algorithm is very simple, if
you dont have trouble with binary trees.

Hope this helps
