It sounds like you have probably looked at these tools in more depth than I did, so if you think they are not suitable for Debian, I think that the bug should be closed. Well then, lets keep it open. Asmutils is still useful, in the sense that it does reduce the size of a minimal installatian.

I see that you say that PPMd is Marginally better than PPMZ and that it's better than PPMZ(2). Does that mean that you got PPMZ2 v0.8 from May 14, 2002 working under linux or did you do a comparison with older versions or under MS Windows? Originally I was using an old version of PPMZ when doing the statement that PPMd is Marginally better than PPMZ. But since you brought it to my attention again I tested it again with the newest version of the linux port. The results from the test can be seen in /usr/share/doc/ppmd/PPMZ.txt in ppmd-9.1-2 (attached). --- From Charles Blom: Hi guys, a few notes : PPMZ was never really intended for direct use in production software; it's more of a test-bed. For example, it was never really optimized. Malcolm Taylor took a lot of the ideas of PPMZ and put them in RKive, which is very fast. Also, the so-called PPMd and PPMii are based on PPMZ, and are more finely tweaked and optimized. PPMii is very good; it's similar to PPMZ but tweaked and improved in various ways. The biggest difference is that he is doing a bit of Context mixing and blending across contexts which are not directly linked in the Markov chain. PPMd - I don't think there are any actual papers on. This is NOT the PPMD algorithm of Bill Teahan, so it's somewhat mis-named. I believe it's very similar to PPMZ, but with some tweaks and special custom support for text files and binaries. Charles Bloom: Do you know why PPMd is performing better? Do you have any suggestions for code that would be useful for me? I'd like to license my code later like Ogg, gzip, zip and bzip2 so that it can be used in commercial applications. Are you still developing PPMZ(2) or any other compressors? I'm no longer actively working in compression; I haven't really touched the PPMZ's in several years. In modern stuff, PPMd is obviously good. The primary algorithms in this area are PPMZ and PPMii ; there are implementations like BOA and PPMonstr that are very good, and many more. --- Charles Bloom[EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.cbloom.com
