a bit more recent algorithm may be BWT (Burrows Wheeler Transform) which is about 14% better than Limpel-Zev/Huffman.<br />

you might also consider algorithms that compress specific file types as another exercise.

Hello experts, <br />
i am planning to develop a compression software in my M.Sc project. <br />
Please suggest me which algorithm can be worked on at student level. i am not asking you to do my work or assignment, i just want few basic guidelines so that i can start with right choice and right track. <br />
i will be using vb 6. <br />
Please help. <br />
Thanks.

compression software in Vb.

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
