There was also an interesting somewhat LZW-like compression (but based
on the code tree rather than a byte stream) method developped at the
ETHZ and described in the Phd Thesis "Code-Generation On-the-Fly: A
Key for Portable Software". See
ftp://ftp.inf.ethz.ch/pub/publications/dissertations/th10497.{abstract,ps.gz}.
