This program was written for my “high school year end essay”, in the year 2003. This essay was about the implemention of several common compression algorithms. In addition to this essay my class mate and I created an application that allows combining several of the algorithms in sequence to compress files. The application was coded in C++ and we used the Borland C++ UI designer to create the UI we used for testing the different compression algorithms.
There is more explanation in the essay, however this essay had to be written in Dutch and does not have an English translation. As a bonus we also created a new compression algorithm called Baconian, which attempted to use the Baconian cipher as a means to compress data.
