Abstract
A data compression system in which a dictionary stored strings of characters and an encoder matches the longest of the stored string with a current string of a data stream input to the encoder. The index of the longest matched stored string is output by the encoder and the dictionary is updated by a new string consisting of the previous match concatenated with the first two characters only of the present match. If the present match has only one or two characters, it is added without reduction.
