Archon sorting algorithm

[just a worm]

Does anyone have any experience with "Archon", the suffix array creation algorithm for the Wheelers transform?

I am looking for some documentation about it because the benchmark results look somewhat promising.

What I found so far is a rough description about it:
http://darchiver.narod.ru/dark/Archon3fs.zip

and a forum thread:
http://forum.compression.ru:8080/viewtopic.php?t=352

But the forum thread is somewhat useless for me, because I don't understand any russian.

Does someone know whether there is any source code available or something else that would help in understanding the whole thing?

I think the sort code is included here: https://code.google.com/p/adark/

I just read up on it a little. Apparently he abandoned development after Yuta Mori benchmarked it and it didn't win. It looks like he has active projects going on on Google Code.
