I didn't see it mentioned here but Alexander Ratushnyak won some prize
money on the Calgary challenge, http://mailcom.com/challenge/ with an
entry of 596,314 bytes on Oct. 25.  It consists of a solid archive of
588,183 bytes, plus the decompressor (as C++ source) packed into a RAR
archive.  The source is uncommented to save space but appears to be a
variant of a previous entry by Przemyslaw Skibinski, which is itself a
variant of PAsQDa with a tiny, built in dictionary.  The latest version
is an improvement of 7KB, consisting of a 4KB improvement in the
archive size and 3KB in the compressed size of the decompressor.
