DATA COMPRESSION 

In computer science and information theory, data compression is the process of encoding information using fewer bits (or other information-bearing units) than an unencoded representation would use through use of specific encoding schemes. Examples include the ZIP file format (which also acts as an archiver, storing many source files in a single destination output file) and the gzip utility. As with any communication, compressed data communication only works when both the sender and receiver of the information understand the encoding scheme. For example, this text makes sense only if the receiver understands that it is intended to be interpreted as characters representing the English language. Similarly, compressed data can only be understood if the decoding method is known by the receiver.Compression is useful because it helps reduce the consumption of expensive resources, such as hard disk space or transmission bandwidth. On the downside, compressed data must be decompressed to be used, and this extra processing may be detrimental to some applications. For instance, a compression scheme for video may require expensive hardware for the video to be decompressed fast enough to be viewed as it's being decompressed (the option of decompressing the video in full before watching it may be inconvenient, and requires storage space for the decompressed video). The design of data compression schemes therefore involves trade-offs among various factors, including the degree of compression, the amount of distortion introduced (if using a lossy compression scheme), and the computational resources required to compress and uncompress the data.

Is a free, open source (GPL) file compressor by Matt Mahoney modified (from SR2) by Nania Francesco Antonio, Oct. 28, 2007. The context table size is increased from 4 MB to 64 MB, which effectively increases the context from order-4 to order-5. This helps compression on larger files, but makes it worse for some smaller files. The program also detects file type. For .bmp files, the order is decreased. For .wav files, the input is split into separate 1 byte wide streams for each audio sample.
