Title: LZH Short: (De)compress LZH-Archives (v0.02) ShortName: lzh.arc Author: Daniel Oram (oramd@cs.man.ac.uk) Date of Release: 28-may-96 Status: Freeware Size (unarchived): Archiver used: Spark ------------------------------------------------------------------ Short Description: The LZH package consists of two modules for compression and decompression of files. They are similar in style to John Kortink's LZW modules but provide significantly greater compression with similarly low overheads (only 32k on decompression). The compression techniques used are a Finite window technique with secondary dynamic huffman compression similar to gzip/zip/pkzip (but not the same). The modules are written in 100% lovingly handcrafted ARM code and are very fast (relatively) on compress and decompress. There are currently two modules supplied here, LZH and LZHD. The LZH module allows both compression/decompression of files, and the LZHD module allows just decompression of files. Note: The LZHD module claims all workspace it needs when it is loaded, so there is no need to keep RMA free for it. This is for ease of use in memory tight situations.
