[comp.graphics] Need Graphics Compress Algorithm

paone@aramis.rutgers.edu (Phil Paone) (06/21/89)

Hi,

  I am doing some work on a video digitizing board and can use some
help with a graphics compression technique.  The best I have found so
far is the widely avaiable compress program which uses the Limpel-Ziv
method.  Does anyone out there know anything better (in simple terms
please, I havn't looked at any advanced math since I graduated).  

Thanks,
Phil Paone

See Communications of the ACM, April 1989 (v32n4) page 490.  The references
on page 505 are excellent.

Oops, sorry, nevermind.
