I am not sure that J is an efficient language for implementing these algorithms. A good J implementation would probably be very educational, but would probably do a lot of unnecessary work to support potential but useless forms of generality. > I should like to understand which could be the best approach in J to this > type of processing on data streams. If you use J's package manager and install the arc/zip package, you can use require'arc/zip/zbuffer' and/or require'arc/zip/zfile' To examine the scripts themselves, replace 'require' with 'open'. Or, to see some brief examples of the use of these routines use open'arc/zip/test' FYI, -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
