TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
----------------------
I am in need of a packing algorithm which works better than the
PACK Utility of UNIX. I have also looked at COMPRESS ( developed
at University of Utah ). COMPRESS works great if distinct number
of input bytes is small. But if the distinct input bytes reach
256 ( binary data ), PACK works better than COMPRESS. With PACK
I am getting a saving of 20-25%. If anybody has an algorithm
that would do better in packing "load modules", I would like to
know about it.
