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:
