- Description
- -----------
-
- SHRI is an XPK packer sublibrary which implements a highly for
- compression rate optimized compressor, that uses offset/len encoding with
- adaptive arithmetic aftercoding for best compression results. Its
- compression rate is better than that of most other packers, e.g. lha,
- zoo or powerpacker.
-
- It supports 7 modes, which differ in the size of the dictionary:
-
- Modes Dictionarysize
- ------ --------------
- 0- 14 1k
- 15- 28 2k
- 29- 42 4k
- 43- 56 8k
- 57- 70 16k
- 71- 84 32k
- 85-100 64k
-
- A larger dictionarysize gives a higher compression rate and faster
- decompression, but slows down the compression.
-
- Here are some benchmarks to give you an impression of the compressionrate
- compared to other compression-libraries (BLZW,NUKE,RAKE 68020 V1.5)
- These tests were done on an A4000/040.

- As you can see, this library is not meant to be used for online-compression
- as it is used in e.g. XFH. It is meant to be used for achieving highest
- compression-rates. These can be useful, when transferring files via
- modem, for a backup to a slow medium (floppy disks) when you have a fast
- computer or for creating archives with the xpkarchive.library.
-
- The decompressionspeed of this version is about 82% higher than that of
- version 1.0. The compression is about 5% faster.

- History
- -------
-
- V0.2 First public Release
-
- V0.3 XpksPackChunk retured XPKERR_CORRUPT instead of XPKERR_EXPANSION
- - Bug fixed in V0.3
-
- V0.4 SHRI could not decompress files, which where partly compressable
- - Bug fixed in V0.4
-
- V1.0 New Version with improved compression- and decompressionspeed
-
- V2.1 Improved decompressionspeed, all relevant parts of the decompressor
- are now written in assembler.
-
- V2.2 Removed important bug in the decompression-part, that produced errors
- with chunksizes above 32767 bytes
