7= Intro =
8Using an trie by the compression and decompression of LZW
9algoritm.
10
11= Choices made =
12* Different systax ./[de]compressie <infile> <outfile>
13* Special number FILE_END to define end of file instead default EOF to
14 fix the problem of writing away odd size numbers. We just add FILE_END
15 to make it even and 2 * FILE_END in case of even number
16
17= Student solution comparison =
18I did not find any program to compare with, but could think of the
19following problems
20* Different initial Trie
21* Other way to end program
22
23= Gif comparision =
24http://www.cis.udel.edu/%7Eamer/CISC651/lzw.and.gif.explained.html
25* The Clear Code. It tells when to restart the WHOLE process.
26* The End Of Information. It tells when there's no more codes to read.
27* Gif includes header information
28* Variable bit size coding
