Unix compress was written in C by Joseph M. Orost, JamesA. Woods et al., and was widely circulated via Usenet. Ituses the Lempel-Ziv Welch algorithm and normally producesfiles with the suffix ".Z".
Compress uses variable length codes. Initially, nine-bitcodes are output until they are all used. When this occurs,ten-bit codes are used and so on, until animplementation-dependent maximum is reached.
After every 10 kilobytes of input the compression ratio ischecked. If it is decreasing then the entire string table isdiscarded and information is collected from scratch.compress(1) To compact data to save space. See data compression and archive program.
