Scifer

"Scifer" is cross-platform data compression and archiving application using a new data compression logic based on Universal Common Logic developed by Senthil Kumar R.

Features
#Theoretically data can be compressed to unity
#The BETA version focuses more on complex, pattern-less and randomized data. Textual and more literal data which are more compressible using larger dictionary based schemes and advanced frequency analyzed outputs are not implemented in this version.
#Consumes the least memory resources compared to any other powerful compression algorithms.
#Data can be processed in a buffer-less stream also, with zero information of the previously processed data (no sliding window, no frequency counts, no Huffman or any other frequency based analysis). This can be implemented in hardware or software for real-time compression and decompression of data streams of any type.
#Unique archive structure which allows files and data to be directly accessed without extracting.
#File addition or removal is not allowed.
#The external header makes it possible to view the information of files in the archive in any application like browsers, office automation documents or XML processing viewers without mobilising the large binary data of the archive.

History
Universal Common Logic(UCL) and Scifer is created and developed by Senthil Kumar R. The research began in early 2001. In 2005 a practical application of UCL in data compression began in the form of Scifer .Two conceptual prototypes versions were developed during 2005-2006 with totally different structures. The current BETA version is a evolved version of previous prototypes.
