[alt.graphics.pixutils] Bitmap compression wanted

bobg+@andrew.cmu.edu (Robert Steven Glickstein) (03/20/91)

I've seen a number of good compression algorithms for greyscale and
color images, but are there good compression algorithms for single-bit
images?  To be more specific, these are bitmaps that have been
dithered from greyscale images using Floyd-Steinberg (i.e., pgmtopbm).
Lossless algorithms preferred, slightly lossy OK.

Thanks in advance.  Mail, don't post.  I'll post a summary if there's
enough interest.
