I have just finished writing an UNZIP tool, and I find that PKZIP110 has come out, and possibly uses a new fourth compression method. I can currently handle Shrinking, Reduction, and Implosion, but if there is a new scheme in PKZIP110, does anyone know where I can get source to decompress it. Please E-mail me at the address below, since I don't have a feed of this group.

Shrink, Reduction, Implosion ?!?! Maybe it would be a good idea to use the names of the algorithms used. Something like Huffmann says more than any four of the beforementioned methods. At least I can look up the name Huffmann in the science citation index to find the paper that describes the algorithm. Another advantage would be that the name space of algorithm-inventer's names is larger that the number of synonims of the words Shrink, Reduction, Implosion, compression, ...
