- LINO is a file to file packer
- .description
- LINO is a file to file packer, which compresses/expands files or
- directories. It includes a 'XPK compression interface' (about XPK see
- lino.doc), to use compression software, which is written for this
- standard.
-
- Data compression is a software technic to spare space on disk or tape.
- There are different algorithms to do this. From a simple
- Run-Length-Encoding which replaces a sequence of equal bytes with one
- of this bytes and the number of these bytes, as far as the Arithmetic
- Coding, where the probability of a byte within a file determines the
- code.
-
- Applications for data compression are archiving files, backup storage,
- and harddisk compressing. There are some very good freeware,
- shareware and commercial applications which have a XPK-interface
- implemented. For example: the XPK-package with XFH (a harddisk
- compressor) on Fish 754, EPU (also a harddisk compressor) on Fish 858,
- ABackup (a backup utility) on Fish 838 (for some references see file
- lino.doc).
