QUAD 1.07BETA

DESCRIPTION
QUAD is a high-performance file compressor that utilizes an advanced LZ-based compression algorithm. Its main features are high compression ratio and fast decompression speed.

EXAMPLES
To compress test.txt to test.txt.quad using normal compression mode, type:

quad c test.txt test.txt.quad

Now, to decompress test.txt.quad, type this:

quad d test.txt.quad test.txt

Additionally to normal compression mode, QUAD has a max mode which provides higher compression at the cost of compression time. Note that decompression time and memory usage with max mode is the same as with normal. Therefore, if you have some spare time for higher compression - use max compression mode, since decompression speed will be the same or even higher.

To compress test.txt using max compression mode, you should type:

quad cx test.txt test.txt.quad

or 

quad xc test.txt test.txt.quad

or even

quad x test.txt test.txt.quad
