If by technical reference you mean a journal article, I dont think that the folks who are evolving the LZHARC, or whatever they are calling it, have written anything in english yet - it is a group of japanese computer hackers. But someone translated the Japanese doc into english, sent the source and binaries to SimTel (and the other IBM archives) and Rahul just posted the source on comp.binaries.ibm.pc about a week ago. The discussion is quite heavy on the comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d group concerning the savings in disk space in the use of the lz pgms. -- Larry W.

While I hate to include long listings, ZI am going to include the header
for some of the info concerning the new compression that I am talking
about. There will be addresses and newsgroups so just about anyone should
be able to contact SOMEONE for some help ;-)

This package of files was uploaded to GEnie by Kenjirou Okubo, and
submitted for comp.binaries.ibm.pc distribution by Paul Homchick, one
of the Sysops of the IBM PC RoundTable there (thanks, Paul). Since
this is a pure text package, I am posting it as text files. These
files were collected together by Haruhiko Okumura, who has included a
paper reviewing several data compression methods and explaining the
algorithms used in the Japanese archiving programs Lharc and Larc.
There are five files in this package:
readme package summary
compress.txt the compression paper by Haruhiko Okumura
lzari.c C source for lzari compression, by Haruhiko Okumura
lzhuf.c C source for lzhuf compression, by Haruyasu Yoshizaki,
comments translated into English by Haruhiko Okumura
lzss.c C source for lzss compression by Haruhiko Okumura
There was more, but this should get you folks going ....
