This is an academic project.A library and a sample program will be developed, that will implement the Burrows-Wheeler compression algorithm, using C++ and templates.This is the same algorithm for BZip.

The final version was submitted today, after yesterday I managed to find the bug that caused it to miss-behave under Solaris. The bug was : int buffer; source->read((char*)&buffer,sizeof(unsigned char)); When run on LSB machines, the two lower bytes are written, and everything is Ok. When run on MSB machines, the two upper bytes of the integer are written, and when 1 is read, 65536 is stored in buffer.
Now the program works under Solaris too.
All bugs should be fixed.
All known bugs fixed. Compresses also small files. Fixed small Linux/Un*x stl incompatability.
