4 * $Header: compress.c,v 4.0 85/07/30 12:50:00 joe Release $
5 *
6 * Revision 4.0 85/07/30 12:50:00 joe
7 * Removed ferror() calls in output routine on every output except first.
8 * Prepared for release to the world.
9 *
10 * Revision 3.6 85/07/04 01:22:21 joe
11 * Remove much wasted storage by overlaying hash table with the tables
12 * used by decompress: tab_suffix[1<<BITS], stack[8000]. Updated USERMEM
13 * computations. Fixed dump_tab() DEBUG routine.
14 *
15 * Revision 3.5 85/06/30 20:47:21 jaw
16 * Change hash function to use exclusive-or. Rip out hash cache. These
17 * speedups render the megamemory version defunct, for now. Make decoder
18 * stack global. Parts of the RCS trunks 2.7, 2.6, and 2.1 no longer apply.
19 *
20 * Revision 3.4 85/06/27 12:00:00 ken
21 * Get rid of all floating-point calculations by doing all compression ratio
22 * calculations in fixed point.
23 *
24 * Revision 3.3 85/06/24 21:53:24 joe
25 * Incorporate portability suggestion for M_XENIX. Got rid of text on #else
26 * and #endif lines. Cleaned up #ifdefs for vax and interdata.
27 *
28 * Revision 3.2 85/06/06 21:53:24 jaw
29 * Incorporate portability suggestions for Z8000, IBM PC/XT from mailing list.
30 * Default to "quiet" output (no compression statistics).
31 *
32 * Revision 3.1 85/05/12 18:56:13 jaw
33 * Integrate decompress() stack speedups (from early pointer mods by McKie).
34 * Repair multi-file USERMEM gaffe. Unify 'force' flags to mimic semantics
35 * of SVR2 'pack'. Streamline block-compress table clear logic. Increase
36 * output byte count by magic number size.
37 *
38 * Revision 3.0 84/11/27 11:50:00 petsd!joe
39 * Set HSIZE depending on BITS. Set BITS depending on USERMEM. Unrolled
40 * loops in clear routines. Added "-C" flag for 2.0 compatibility. Used
41 * unsigned compares on Perkin-Elmer. Fixed foreground check.
42 *
43 * Revision 2.7 84/11/16 19:35:39 ames!jaw
44 * Cache common hash codes based on input statistics; this improves
45 * performance for low-density raster images. Pass on #ifdef bundle
46 * from Turkowski.
47 *
48 * Revision 2.6 84/11/05 19:18:21 ames!jaw
49 * Vary size of hash tables to reduce time for small files.
50 * Tune PDP-11 hash function.
51 *
52 * Revision 2.5 84/10/30 20:15:14 ames!jaw
53 * Junk chaining; replace with the simpler (and, on the VAX, faster)
54 * double hashing, discussed within. Make block compression standard.
55 *
56 * Revision 2.4 84/10/16 11:11:11 ames!jaw
57 * Introduce adaptive reset for block compression, to boost the rate
58 * another several percent. (See mailing list notes.)
59 *
60 * Revision 2.3 84/09/22 22:00:00 petsd!joe
61 * Implemented "-B" block compress. Implemented REVERSE sorting of tab_next.
62 * Bug fix for last bits. Changed fwrite to putchar loop everywhere.
63 *
64 * Revision 2.2 84/09/18 14:12:21 ames!jaw
65 * Fold in news changes, small machine typedef from thomas,
66 * #ifdef interdata from joe.
67 *
68 * Revision 2.1 84/09/10 12:34:56 ames!jaw
69 * Configured fast table lookup for 32-bit machines.
70 * This cuts user time in half for b <= FBITS, and is useful for news batching
71 * from VAX to PDP sites. Also sped up decompress() [fwrite->putc] and
72 * added signal catcher [plus beef in writeerr()] to delete effluvia.
73 *
74 * Revision 2.0 84/08/28 22:00:00 petsd!joe
75 * Add check for foreground before prompting user. Insert maxbits into
76 * compressed file. Force file being uncompressed to end with ".Z".
77 * Added "-c" flag and "zcat". Prepared for release.
78 *
79 * Revision 1.10 84/08/24 18:28:00 turtlevax!ken
80 * Will only compress regular files (no directories), added a magic number
81 * header (plus an undocumented -n flag to handle old files without headers),
82 * added -f flag to force overwriting of possibly existing destination file,
83 * otherwise the user is prompted for a response. Will tack on a .Z to a
84 * filename if it doesn't have one when decompressing. Will only replace
85 * file if it was compressed.
86 *
87 * Revision 1.9 84/08/16 17:28:00 turtlevax!ken
88 * Removed scanargs(), getopt(), added .Z extension and unlimited number of
89 * filenames to compress. Flags may be clustered (-Ddvb12) or separated
90 * (-D -d -v -b 12), or combination thereof. Modes and other status is
91 * copied with copystat(). -O bug for 4.2 seems to have disappeared with
92 * 1.8.
93 *
94 * Revision 1.8 84/08/09 23:15:00 joe
95 * Made it compatible with vax version, installed jim's fixes/enhancements
96 *
97 * Revision 1.6 84/08/01 22:08:00 joe
98 * Sped up algorithm significantly by sorting the compress chain.
99 *
100 * Revision 1.5 84/07/13 13:11:00 srd
101 * Added C version of vax asm routines. Changed structure to arrays to
102 * save much memory. Do unsigned compares where possible (faster on
103 * Perkin-Elmer)
104 *
105 * Revision 1.4 84/07/05 03:11:11 thomas
106 * Clean up the code a little and lint it. (Lint complains about all
107 * the regs used in the asm, but I'm not going to "fix" this.)
108 *
109 * Revision 1.3 84/07/05 02:06:54 thomas
110 * Minor fixes.
111 *
112 * Revision 1.2 84/07/05 00:27:27 thomas
113 * Add variable bit length output.
