A brief history of lossless compression...
A brief history of lossless compression... This is from the IEEE history network. It's been over 20 years since I did anything serious with compression, back when I was (very) peripherally involved with the LZS algorithm (I worked for Stac Electronics and with Doug Whiting, the developer of LZS). I see a few small errors (especially with dates) in the stuff I have personal knowledge of, but generally it seems pretty accurate. Most everything they mention that's after about 2002 is all new to me...
