DM,
That seems to be the exact type of algorithm that David Cary was
suggesting. It certainly does seem like it would have great
potential, does it not?

I'll reiterate my previous comment. The problem with many compression
algorithms is that they are adaptive, constantly changing the
"dictionary" based upon what was previously seen and the current
"window".
The way to do the compression such that it can be applied to a verse
at a time is
Dear SWORD developers,

I can think of several reasons for rawtext (non-compressed):

That may be true for zText. However, other compression formats are
faster to search than plain text.
3. It is easier to debug/ex
I've gotten a little further, but could use some more help.
I'm trying to create a NT compressed module based on the rawtext

works ok with sword.exe 1.5.8 rc1. (WinXp SP2)
I created a file ztwenty.conf that has these conten
Thanks. I'll revise the earlier tutorial for module preparation to
describe making a ztext compressed module. Later today, it should be

IIRC, Huffman encoding seems to produce an optimal compression. The
basic idea is to build a trie with the shortest paths through the
trie
being the most frequent patterns. The algorithms that I saw did this
on input assuming a single byte character encoding such as ASCII or
Latin-1. It is readi

My limited experience is that if you don't have a large block of data

It's really simple. You make a plaintext module and install it as a
