[comp.compression] DDJ compression competition form

Has someone got the DDJ competition entry form?
I am thinking of competing but have no entry form.

My program uses statistical compression with aritmetic encoding.
It compressed a 206kbyte file to 76kbyte, 'compress' only to 106kbyte.
It doesn't need much memory, 512K is more than enough.
It is slow. (6Mb file took over 30 min on sun4)
It would be quicker in assembly, all those shift and carry.
It is not long.
It uses one hash table.

Anyone?
