Abstract
A method for compressing data within a data processing system is disclosed. Each unit of data is at least two bytes. As each byte from a data stream is received, a determination is made as to whether or not an identical data byte occurs at a pre-selected interval within a group of bytes already received. In response to a determination that an identical data byte occurs at a pre-selected interval within a group of bytes already received, only a portion of a subsequent unit of data from the data stream is passed to an output.
