12Ghosts Zip2

[Steve Evans]

Would you like to add 12Ghosts Zip2 to your compression tests?

The NEW Zip 2 Compression Standard by 12Ghosts Inc.


12Ghosts Zip2 uses Burrows-Wheeler block-sorting text compression algorithm, and Huffman coding. Compression is generally considerably better than that achieved by more conventional LZ77/78-based compressors (Zip 1), and approaches the performance of the PPM family of statistical compressors.

12Ghosts Zip2 is based in part on the work of Julian R. Seward.
