humanzip is a compression program that operates on text files. Unlike
|
|
most compression algorithms, its output is human readable. Indeed, it
|
|
is explictly meant to be read by humans and might even be easier to read
|
|
than the original.
|
|
|
|
humanzip compresses files by looking for common strings of words and
|
|
replacing them with single symbols. The idea is to reduce the screen and
|
|
print size of documents. Humanzip does not explictly try to reduce the
|
|
size of the file as measured in bytes, although this usually happens
|
|
incidentally.
