Is there anybody who could explain me the following algorithms in brief : Data Compression with Sliding Dictionaries with Multiple Shannon-Fano trees ? Our University library doesn't seem to have books on data compression, neither do the bookstores in our neighbourhood. Or if it is too difficult to mail me a brief explanation, could you please point out a few good references. Thanks in advance !!! Let's hope those algorithms don't get patented.

PKZIP uses both of these. Phil Katz lists the following references in the package documentation: Storer, James A.
