I'm doing much better with this variant now and am almost ready to start optimizing and debugging. But first, I want to buy a few more points with the compression ratio. I have ways to optimize lz77: somebody online told me about hash tables; while processing this information, I thought to use an 8k buffer of bits, where each bit determines whether an associated word was already encountered; somebody else helped me optimize the main loop, and I was testing the current word in the lz77 sliding dictionary before checking for a match. Are there any other ways I can optimize lz77? I am working for 8-bit computers as well as more modern computers, so memory may sometimes be at a premium.
