Huffman encoding is poor though. It is used to pre or post-compress a dictionary algorithm in almost any decent compression algorithm. The exception (which I think is used by bzip) requires too much memory to uncompress. Try posting the question on Usenet, though. Also, inquire about non-patented LZ variants. -- Daniel C.
