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
Each is being posted as a separate text-only article. For
redistribution, please put all files in an archive named lz-comp.*
(e.g. lz-comp.arc). To get each original file, cut between the
"--cut here..." and "--end--" lines.

Compress.txt and the associated C source files were uploaded
to GEnie from Japan by Kenjirou Okubo. He provided this short
introduction:
This article by H.Okumura explains various algorithms
of Data Compression. The article, originally uploaded
in his workshop, is posted here with his permission. Also
includes three C programs illustrating lzari, lzss and
lzhuf methods uploaded with permission of their authors.
These are the compression schemes currently being investigated
by Japanese hobbiest programmers.
