@(#)README 1.4 11/3/90
Compact is a high speed compression/decompression program that works
best on large files (>1 meg compressed). On such files, it runs
2-3 times faster than the public domain compress program, and compresses
better.
Compact is PUBLIC DOMAIN, but due to potential patent problems,
this program may only be used for research into data compression
techniques. See WARNING section in compact(1) manual page for
further discussion.
The program currently compiles w/o any special options on all
system V UNIX releases known to the author which provide at least
1 Meg of uniformly addressable memory. It will not run on machines
(eg 286) with 16 bit integers or 64K segments.
Please forward comments, suggestions and bug reports to me.
