Hi everybody,
I've attached an old arithmetic coder named "COMPRESS" by Charles Ashford. This program did great things for its time with extremely low resource requirements. It was very, very slow as well but achieved the best compression ratio.
I've attached the source code. Could someone make a 32-bit/NT compile of the two programs (compress.c and expand.c) into 2 EXE files for me?
I have a new Win7 64-bit test machine and I only have 16-bit compiles of the program so they don't run on 64-bit OS's.
Thanks guys and enjoy the historical wonder for those of you who don't have it![]()
