I'm actually writing to programme which will eventually compress
files into (hopefully!) much smaller files than any other
compression programme has achieved to date.
Don't let me spoil the fun, but perhaps it's worth knowing bzip2,
with its Burrows-Wheeler algorithm, is comparatively near to the
optimum.
Anyroad, for such an achievment it would not hurt first do to some
serious math (which either with some luck might prove there is no
"hopefully", or, as I rather do fear, would prove there is no "much
smaller"), and only then start programming :)
