References, Credits and Further Reading


Want to find out more about compression? Here are the resources I used and recommend:

Probably the easiest to get to is the comp.compression Frequently Asked Questions
especially their Introduction to data compression
Also, you can listen in on the comp.comression newsgroup.

Probably the best book I have seen on the subject of compression is:

The Data Compression Book,  2nd edition 
    by Mark Nelson and Jean-loup Gailly, 
           M&T Books, New York, NY 1995
    ISBN 1-55851-434-1    541 pages

another decent book which you may be able to find at the library is:

Introduction to Data Compression
    by Sayood Khalid, 
        Morgan Kaufmann Publishers, San Fransisc, CA 1996
    ISBN 1-55860-346-8


Also, I the applet used in the Huffman part is by Walter Korman from his article 
"Data Compression: Bits, Bytes and Beefalo" in Deep Magic
I'll have to contact him to see if it is ok. It's an excellent article, by the way.
