The format of frozen (2.1) file is incompatible with that of frozen (1.0),
but if this package is compiled with -DCOMPAT switch, you will able to
unpack frozen (1.0) files, if you have them.


------------ SPEED & COMPRESSION RATE ---------------

When using 18 bits table (about 600K) and gcc, the speed of freeze is more
than the same of ARJ 1.00, but is less than of LHA 2.05.

Note: the percents mean 'relatively to compressed size', if you want have
them relatively to original size, divide them to 2-2.5.

Compression rate is *INDEPENDENT* of the hash table size, but may vary
with different static Huffman tables.  It is about 2% worse than the same
of ARJ and LHA.

Note: if you see Compress works nearly as Freeze (on some files), this
means the maximum is gained, so LHA and ARJ won't better more than
1-1.5%.
