I need contact information for Yann Collet who developed the BZ2
compression. I would like to add BZ2 compression to Debug4x
(http://www.debug4x.com) as an option but I need permission to use his
sources.

Does anyone have a good email address for Yann?
I posted to 'phantasie.conquest(a)hotmail.fr' without success.
thanks

If I am not mistaken, the BZ2 program was written by Mika Heiskanen
and the source is freely available (check the hpcalc.org under the
HP48 compression section).

Yep, I'm mistaken.

Hi William,

sorry i was on holliday up to now.
I did answer your message, you should have it in your mailbox.

to Han : You right, Mika Heiskanen is the author of original BZ
software.
BZ2 is basically a full rewrite, where i've "exported" knowledge and
code from LZD "in a BZ fashion", retaining full compatibility.
In a nutshell, BZ2 runs faster, and compress more too.
It can nonetheless be decompressed by original BZ1 : it's stricly the
same semantic, so it is 100% compatible, both way.


Regards

Yann
