Description:

Dynzip is an experimental meta compressor. It works as a filter like "cat | gzip | cat", but instead of the user selecting the compression level, the level will be adjusted while running.

If the pipe receiving data from Dynzip is blocked, Dynzip will spend the time compressing the data harder.

The actual compression will be done by existing tools (lzop, gzip, bzip2, lzip) and may be extended in the future.

The prototype is written in Perl, but the production ready program may have to be ported to a compiled language.


Other Software Required:

Perl - artistic license

Optional (will only be used if installed):
gzip
lzop
lzip
bzip2
