Abstract: .
This report presents some further work on the recently described "Block Sorting" lossless or text
compression algorithm. It is already known that it is a context-based compressor of unbounded order, but
those contexts are completely restructured by the sort phase of the compression. The report examines the
effects of those context changes. It is shown that the requirements on the final compression stage are
quite different from those in compressors of more conventional design.
The report... (Update)

...Burrows and Wheeler s block sorting algorithm [4] also uses unbounded contexts but unlike the PPM methods is non adaptive. Experiments [8, 18] based on the Calgary Corpus [1] show that for current implementations performance of these approaches are similar. However, for English...
...such as PPM. Cleary et al. 4] have viewed BSLDCA (called BW94 by the authors) as a context based method. Recently, Fenwick [5, 6, 7, 8] has done a comparative study on BSLDCA and concluded that BSLDCA is a viable text compression technique, with a compression...
