- If you look on my home page, you can find a couple of links to Huffman compression
- information. First, my book, "The Data Compression Book", has quite a bit of detail,
- including C source code, discussing both static and adaptive Huffman coding. The page
- containing the info on my book has pointers to a couple of places where you can
- find lots of info, including source code. I think your best bet would be
- the comp.compression FAQ.
-
- Also, under "Magazine Articles", you can find the text and source for an article
- I published in the 1/96 DDJ, showing how to use the STL to create Huffman
- tables. The article is more about the STL than it is about data compression,
- but it might still be helpful.
