多年前有一本极好的书，名字好像叫《数据压缩技术》（The Data Compression Book），没记错的话作者是马克·尼尔森（Mark Nelson）。书中讲解了包括 *zip 在内的很多压缩方案，还附带了能跑通的 C 语言代码。我当年买过，职业生涯早期读过它，能看懂其中一部分。这足以证明这本书有多牛，而不是……
Years back, there was a very good book called something like The Data Compression Book by, IIRC, a Mark Nelson. Explained many compression schemes including *zip, with working code in C. I had it, read it early in my career, could understand parts of it. A testimonial to the book, not…
……用 TopSpeed Modula-2 编写，直接在命令行运行。得支持跨多张软盘存储并能自解压。算法速度很快，但压缩率远远达不到同等水平。在那期间，我把马克·尼尔森的那本经典《数据压缩技术》（The Data Compression Book）都给翻烂了。
…in TopSpeed Modula-2 and run from the command line. Needed to span multiple disks and self launch. Algorithm was fast, but not nearly the same compression ratios. Wore out Mark Nelson's classic, "The Data Compression Book" along the way.
如果你们有人对压缩算法的更多细节以及实际应用感兴趣，可以去看看史蒂夫·里默（Steve Rimmer）写的《位图图形学》（Bit-mapped graphics）以及马克·尼尔森写的《数据压缩技术》（The data compression book）。
If any of you interested in more details on compression, and in use, take a look at "Bit-mapped graphics" by Steve Rimmer and "The data compression book" by Mark Nelson.

马克·尼尔森写的《数据压缩技术》（The Data Compression Book）把一些基础技术解释得很清楚——里面还配有这些技术的 C 语言实现示例。
"The Data Compression Book" by Mark Nelson has a good explanations of some basic techniques - and examples of C implementations of them.
