Text Data Compaction Facility Student Version 1.0
Copyright 1992, Synergistic Consultants, Inc.
This program is distributed for non-commercial use only. To extract the
program and associated files, type these commands (or the equivalent):
Note that d: is the disk drive that is to contain the programs, and
s: is the external source disk drive.
d:
MD \TDCF10
CD \TDCF10
COPY s:TDCF10.ZIP .
COPY s:README.T10 .
COPY s:PKZ101.EXE .
PKZ101
PKUNZIP TDCF10.ZIP
The files require over 600K of disk space including the files distributed
with the PKUNZIP program (the PK* files may be deleted if you so desire).
To run the Text Data Compaction Facility, type:
TDCF
An error message and the text similar to what is in TDCF10.DOC will be
displayed. This text explains the command line options and the operation
of the program more fully. This program may be used to compact ASCII
text information into six files. Compaction rates vary depending upon
the frequencies of the words in the text and how many of the six files
are required for the application. This compaction rate could be as low
as 35-38% for files with a large repetition rate (computer language source
files tested previously were in the range of 38%, with the compacted text
output file, the symbol table file, and the line pointer file). The
generated compacted text has a variable length, extensible command
language that is most compact for small dictionaries. It supports
up to four symbol tables or dictionaries, and has a wide variety of
options for much versatility. The command language can support an
embedded superset language for extensiblity, a special opcode allows
other commands or data to be compacted within the file also (these
would be user defined features written by a programmer and integrated
into the C function library). A C function library to access and manipulate
the compacted text and associated files may be purchased for ten dollars.
The file: REGISTER contains the registration form.
Some possible ways to run TDCF with the supplied batch files are:
RUNN _ C
Compact the supplied C.SF file, and include underbars in the symbols.
RUNC ACTS
Compact the portion of the Acts of the Apostles, in sorted order.
See the file CONTENTS.FIL for a description of all the files distributed
in the TDCF10.ZIP file.
A more complete description of this program may be found in the file:
TDCF10.DOC
To print this file type:
PRINT TDCF10.DOC
This will print a copy of the manual on your printer.
