- I already reported a while ago about the HAP datacompressor. Way back
- it was buggy and slow. It is still slow but the bugs seem to be away.
-
- An impressive program, the entier archiver is 9k(!). Compression is
- about 5% better than PKZIP 2.04c. Compression is about 6 times slower
- than PKZIP 2.04c, decompression is as slow as compression (:-(). The
- functionality of the archiver is comparable to that of AR002. Just
- add, list, delete, extract. No support for subdirectories. I expect
- a full produkt from them in a few months (they are working on the produkt for
- a while aleady). The documentation is still fuzzy.
-
- The program seems to be build around an extremely efficient higher order
- arithmetic encoder.
