Title: Harri Hirvola's "ha" archiver, sources and Linux executable
Version: 0.999 beta (or "0.999p")
Entered-date: 20 Jan 95
Description: This is the "ha" archiver, an arithmetic/Markov coder which
typically compresses better than any other archiver, but which
is somewhat slow at decompression and extremely slow at com-
pression.
Keywords: compression, archiver, MSDOS, arithmetic coding, Markov

Copying-policy: GPL; also note patents on arithmetic coding (sigh)
(Note that the final point probably means this can only be used for
research purposes, unless you've licensed the appropriate patents.)
