- Re: New SQ USQ and FLS
-
- Greenlaw's latest SQUEEZER programs are FLS-11, USQ-15
- and SQ-15. The main change is to SQ, which turned out
- to have a bug in it--in previous versions, an occasional
- combination of characters would cause it to try to generate
- code longer than 16 bits, which made the files involved
- non-unsqueezable. Steve Bogolub here in Chicago discovered
- the bug, sent files that proved its existence to Richard
- Greenlaw, and got a disk with a debugged SQ last week. It
- now checks to see whether a >16 bit code is being generated
- and if so prints "rescaling" and goes around again to gene-
- rate a safer table.
