- 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.
