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