DATA COMPRESSION DIRECTORY ========================== Date : 21-Aug-1991 Author : Ross Williams (ross@spam.ua.oz.au) This file gives an overview of the data compression directory of the anonymous ftp archive located at the University of Adelaide, South Australia. The exact location of the directory is: Machine : sirius.itd.adelaide.edu.au [IP=129.127.40.3] Directory : pub/compression The directory mostly contains public domain data compression algorithms developed by Ross Williams during early 1991. It also contains one or two other items of interest. The files in this directory may be compressed. Files that are compressed will have names terminating with ".Z" and will have to be uncompressed before use (using the Unix "uncompress" command). I wouldn't trust my files to a data compression algorithm :-), but the system programmer who put the files there for me (I do not have direct control over this archive) seems to think that it is a good idea.
