============================== README.list51 =============================
This is disk 51 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library.
Bison A replacement for unix "yacc" command. This is from
the GNU (GNU is Not Unix) effort, and was obtained
from the Free Software Foundation. This is a working
update to the version on disk number 4, provided by
Johan Widen.
Author: Bob Corbett and Richard Stallman
Compress This is an update to the compress version released
on disk number 6. It is tested and seems to work
well except for a couple glitches noticed at the
last minute (see the README file). Compress reduces the
size of the named files using adaptive Lempel-Ziv coding.
The amount of compression obtained depends on the size of
the input, the number of bits per code, and the distribution
of common substrings. Typically, text such as source code
or English is reduced by 50-60%. Compression is generally
much better then that achieved by Huffman coding
(as used in "pack") or adaptive Huffman coding
(as used in "compact"), and takes less time to compute.

DifSsed Dif produces a difference file which lists the
line by line differences between any two text files.
These differences can be fed to ssed (a stream type
editor), along with the original text file, to remotely
reproduce the other (new) file. Binary only.
