DESCRIPTION
A set of compression algorithms
The codec (coder-decoder) enables you to save space on your hard disk and
save communication costs because you always store/transmit the compressed
data.
Note that the compressed data is useless if you don't have the decoder.
This package uses: - RLE scheme (4 different versions) - Huffman scheme
(dynamical scheme) - LZW scheme
Codecs comes with a detailed introduction to data compression schemes i.e.
Losslessy, Run Length Encoding, Huffman Encoding and Lempel, Ziv and Welch
compression.
