Chryseis cruncher
=================
THIS IS THE SECOND BETA RELEASE VERSION ....
No change in the proggy itself, but news for the legal environment ...
This program is using the same algorithm as PowerPacker®, but the
algorithms themselves are not pattented, unlike other LZH and others.
So ... big thanks to Nico François for using a not-pattented algorithm ;-)
Anyway, I made other tries with better algorithms ... better results but
sh*t, all these algorithms are pattented in the United States.
Next version will include another non-pattented algrithm, as I plan to use
some code from CrunchMania (®© Thomas Schwartz). I need to get in touch
with Thomas for that, but he doesn't seem to have an Email address.
The GUI is also on it's way ...
