Description
-----------
SHRI is an XPK packer sublibrary which implements a highly for
compression rate optimized compressor, that uses offset/len encoding with
adaptive arithmetic aftercoding for best compression results. Its
compression rate is better than that of most other packers, e.g. lha,
zoo or powerpacker.
It supports 7 modes, which differ in the size of the dictionary:
Modes Dictionarysize
------ --------------
0- 14 1k
15- 28 2k
29- 42 4k
43- 56 8k
57- 70 16k
71- 84 32k
85-100 64k
A larger dictionarysize gives a higher compression rate but slows down the
compression.
