Is there technical documentation on how the LZMA algorithm works? Something detailed enough for reimplimentation.
Igor Pavlov
Why do you need to reimplement it?

The big problem is, that 7-zip totaly mixes the compression algorithm and platform dependent stuff, this makes it very hard to reuse the algorithm. Something like a design document for LZMA, with pseudo code, would be really great. This would make a linux port so much easier.
By the way: IMHO should the core algorithm of 7zip be written in plain C or C++, with a clear interface, and not mixed with COM or whatever. This would make it really reuseable!

nobody states anywhere who invented the algorithm. who did this?
Igor Pavlov
It's my :)
Actually LZMA is combination of some famous algorithms: LZ77, Markov Chains and analog of Arithmetic Coding (aka Range Coder).
