Hello, You are all being contacting because your involvement in the compression and archive utilities field, as I found all of your e-mail addresses on this page: http://www.cn.freebsd.org/ports/archivers.html I am writing about a new compression/archive program which I am developing with some friends of mine to help with some of the design and coding. The program is called BSZIP. BSZIP utilizes a new idea of mine that one compression method just isn't enough. That's why BSZIP utilizes multiple methods of compression. It can also use one method on the data, multiple layers of compression, or even compression on certain segments of the data, such as those which will result best with given data and method. Because of this, the more methods the better. I am on a search for compression algorithms, articles, websites, etc etc to help me. And, when I found the page listed above, I thought to e-mail all of you and ask for help. Specifically, I was wondering the methods used in any of the utilities you control or participate in. I need the most methods I can get, so please help. Please, reply soon. If you can give me some information on a good method, then please do so. If you can help with the coding, then thats even better! If you are annoyed by this e-mail, don't care, or aren't who I think you are, then I am sorry. Please tell me so. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
