Short: High Compression ratio for SAMPLES/MODS

Shorten v1.22
A High Compression ratio utility for SAMPLES/MODULES
Copyright 1992-1995 Tony Robinson
This program uses a special prediction algorithm to predeterminate how
the waveform will evolve and then a specially tailored huffman algorithm
to compress the residuals.
The compression so achieved can reach 2:1 ratio, which is far better
than that of general purpose compessors as PKZIP, LHA, etc...
I started rewriting some pieces of code in optimized ASM code, but I
decided I would release this version (which is working quite nicely
already) in order to see how many people were interested in this piece
of software.
IF I WILL GET ENOUGH DEMAND, I might provide a MUCH faster version of
this, and even a xpk library containing optimized code.
This port of this piece of software is E-Mail-Ware, this is a new
conception of freeware: if you use it, and if you have access to a
place where you can send E-Mail, send me a mail, telling me what you
like and dis-like about this. (even just 'I am using it' will suffice)
Versions for 68000/020/040/881 supplied. *math coprocessor highly suggested*
