- Bell/Cleary/Witten briefly describe a form of arithmetic coding which
- works for binary alphabets (i.e. it interprets the input bit stream as, well,
- a stream of bits). I'm looking for source code for this.
-
- I went through the FAQ and all the FTP sites it mentions, but none of them
- contain what I'm looking for. I'm hoping that this isn't the dreaded IBM
- Q-coder scheme (if so, tell me and I'll stop looking...).
-
- Please e-mail any pointers you may have; I doubt this is of general interest.
