  12. The FAQ only mentions stream-based substitution compression, i.e.
  13. the LZ family.  Are there any books, research papers, or other info
  14. on substitution compression where the program is allowed to look at
  15. the data all at once & decide how to compress it?

  17. Thanks for any pointers.
