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! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Brian Wainscott Graduate Student U.C.

Sotrer, Computer Science Press, >1803 Research Blvd, Rockville, MD 20850 USA The information on the book is: Data Compression: Methods and Theory James A Storer ISBN: 0-88175-161-8 I have found it to be very good reference material. I purchased the book from Computer Literacy. Their phone number is (408)435-1118.
