An LZP paper was accepted for publication as a poster (one page abstract) in the Proceedings of DCC96 ( the IEEE Data Compression Conference ).


The following pair of papers were made publicly available on this web page on April 21, 1996. The LZP algorithm is officialy put in the public domain for use in any non-commercial application (GNU public license). If you wish to use the LZP algorithm in a commercial product, please contact me for permission.

All papers are in zipped postscript.


The LZP Paper as submitted to DCC96. 10 pages.


An Older Version of the LZP paper. 33 pages. This version is provided because it is somewhat more thorough and complete, however the details in it are out-dated and the presentation is not as thoroughly editted. It is inteded for people who have read the primary paper and want more information.


Dr. Peter Fenwick has also reached some interesting theoretical conclusions on the LZP algorithm and its relation to other coders. See the following papers:
