I'm looking for an article about "Arithmetic Coding Compression"
which appeared in one of the ACM SIG publications a few months ago.
Unfortunately I don't know more than that, so I'm having trouble
getting a copy of the article. If you remember reading about this
please mail me. (The article apparently include FORTH code, which
might help to jog your memory.)
Thanks.

protested outside a company building with black berets, clever signs, and
a brief march, then adjourned to a nearby beer bust." - SJ Mercury 02/10/90xanthian@saturn.ADS.COM (Metafont Consultant Account) (02/16/90)
I couldn't find the issue of the CACM in which the article Marcos sought was published, but I did dig out my (hand typed from the article) copy of the code (it was in C, not Forth). I ran a test with it against the newly published M-W variant of L-Z encoding, and published my results together with the C source code in alt.sources for the amusement and edification of the net. Included in my brief report is a suggestion for possible new applications of adaptive arithmetic encoding to UUCP file transmission. -- Again, my opinions, not the account furnishers'. xanthian@well.sf.ca.us (Kent Paul Dolan) xanthian@ads.com - expiring soon; please use Well address for replies.
