The idea of how the LZW decoder predicts next character is just genial! :o (a very simple and effective algorithm, not so easy to catch).
Huffman algorithm is easy to understand, very theoric, not a spark of imagination, just statistics.
Jpeg is a funny thing: an algorithm on the top of an algorithm on the top of.. It's difficult to put all together and it's harder to guess why all that complication is needed. Because it was designed by a comission? :???:
Some day I will try progressive JPEG's, they add a new layer of complexity, more fun!. I need to master EMS before.. :-?
Bzip sounds interesting. Where i can find something about it? :bounce:
