Short: Fibonacci (de)compression for 8SVX, V1.3 Author: wnoeker@t-online.de (Wilhelm Noeker) Uploader: wnoeker t-online de (Wilhelm Noeker) Type: mus/misc Architecture: m68k-amigaos "wavepak" is a Fibonacci-Delta / Exponential-Delta encoder / decoder for IFF 8SVX samples. Both are efficient, but lossy, compression techniques: They are fast and achieve a guaranteed compression ratio of 50 %, but at the cost of some 'quantization' noise. Exponential Delta differs from the well-known Fibonacci Delta compression only by the compression table that it uses. I believe it results in less distortion than FDC. It is not an official standard (yet?), comments are welcome. New since V1.2: found out how to make C use bigger file buffers (should be *really* faster now ;-) New since V1.1: better I/O buffering (should be faster now), fixed a bug concerning hexdump of IFF chunks New since V1.0: built-in command summary, version string, no more progress indicator unless in "verbose" mode "wavepak" is Freeware, C source is included.
