Subject: Towards a UNIX equivalent for crunch 2.3
The original LZWCOM program referred to in Steven Greenberg's
description of his CRUNCH/UNCRUNCH program is available from
SIMTEL20 as:
Filename Type Bytes CRC
Directory PD:<CPM.SQUSQ>
LZW.LBR.1 BINARY 50816 0D23H
This LBR contains the following files:
COMMLZW.C
LZW.C
LZW.DQC
LZW.SUB
LZWCOM.COM
LZWUNC.C
LZWUNC.COM
Please remember that Greenberg has pointed out some shortcomings and
problems with the original LZWCOM approach. However, this should be a
good starting place for making a Unix C version of Greenberg's
enhanced cruncher. The LZW.DOC file says that the C programs can be
compiled on Unix and should be reasonably portable.
Please keep me posted on your progress. I need a C version myself for
use here on SIMTEL20 to maintain the crunched files.
