This is a splay-prefix-coding data compression program I made for
studying.

Includes source suitable for Turbo C and for 4.xBSD, and executable
for MS-DOS. In the one test that I did, it compressed slightly better
than 13-bit LZW, though not quite as well as LZHUF.
Checksums obtained with the 4.3BSD "sum" or System V "sum -r" command.
checksum size (bytes) file (between BEGIN--cut and END--cut lines)

Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
