Compress This is an update to the compress version released on
disk number 6. It is tested and seems to work well
except for a couple glitches noticed at the last minute
(see the README file). Compress reduces the size of the
named files using adaptive Lempel-Ziv coding. The
amount of compression obtained depends on the size of
the input, the number of bits per code, and the
distribution of common substrings. Typically, text such
as source code or English is reduced by 50-60%.
Compression is generally much better then that achieved
by Huffman coding (as used in "pack") or adaptive
Huffman coding (as used in "compact"), and takes less
time to compute. Author: Thomas Spencer, with
improvements by others

DifSsed Dif produces a difference file which lists the line by
line differences between any two text files. These
differences can be fed to ssed (a stream type editor),
along with the original text file, to remotely
reproduce the other (new) file. Binary only. Author:
