FES: Frequently Existing String (Compression Method)

[German] [English]

FES is a compression method, that is developed by Christopher Hanna and Dankrad Feist.

You can find the successor to FES here. CAT provides better compression, a smaller database (FES has ca. 25 MB, CAT uses ~500 kB). It will be available for PalmOS handhelds (for reading E-Books) soon.

You can download the following files:

FES summary (German only)
FES User package with complete databases, the FES library, frontends and the Delphi-Sourcecode

Additionally you can download: countsort.txt and stats.txt (The results of the internet word collection). (These links are inactive due to traffic exhaustion, but you can still get them by manually accessing countsort-no2.txt and stats-no2.txt)
