Great to see innovation but unless your personal compression method is somehow 
better (very fast with excellent 
compression) then would it not be a better idea to use an existing (leading 
edge) compression method ?

7-Zip's (http://www.7-zip.org/) 'newest' methods are LZMA and PPMD 
(http://www.7-zip.org/7z.html). 

There is a "proprietary license" for LZMA that _might_ interest Sun but PPMD is 
"no explicit license" see this link:
