Skrót 0.2

A customisable compression utility dedicated to short strings.

Skrót allows you to build a model of your data and use it to compress short byte sequences of predictable contents. It can efficiently compress byte sequences shorter than 200B. It's based on established dictionary-based data compression algorithms: LZMA and LZ4.
