      From: address@nospicedham.not.available              Bilal Ahmad,              > And I was just giving an example of Huffman encoding, I didn't       > mean specifically Huffman algo              I didn't either, but as you specifically named that one I used it in an       example to how to google it. You could do the same for all kinds of       compression methods: LZH, LZW, ARC, ZIP, you name it. All of them can be       implemented in Assembly, and I've seen code examples to all of the above       floating on the 'web somewhere.              > And i think it would be difficult to build a tree at asm level.              Not really. But if you think so, why don't you consider building trees as       the first step to your goal ? Forget everything else, and just concentrate       on building (and traversing) a tree. You will definitily learn a lot from       experimenting with it. :-)              Than again, you could also take a peek at (one of) the above compression       methods, and look at how they did it. In other words: Learning from the       masters.              > Like, we pack bits in some certain design, I tried to implement it,       > but I think it is not that much efficient.              Hmmm... There are quite a number smart*sses (in a positive way) in this       newsgroup, and quite a few will definitily want to help you *as long as* you       would post something they could actually look at and comment upon.              Vague-ish ideas tend to grab a lot less attention I'm afraid - for exactly       the reason of what is happening here: You've effectivily rejected my       previous reply (its wasted energy) because you ment to ask something a bit       different than what I could make out from your question.                     So, think about what you actually want/need to get an answer to, and ask       that. Preferrably (understatement) with some code showing what you tried       yourself, together with an explanation to why it isn't what you want.              Regards,       Rudy Wieser              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
