A significant cost in PPM data compression (and often the major cost) is the provision and efficient coding of escapes while building contexts. This paper presents some recent work on eliminating escapes in PPM compression, using bit-wise compression with binary contexts. It shows that PPM without escapes can achieve averages of 2.5 bits per character on the Calgary Corpus and 2.2 bpc on the Ca...

An environment is a set of name-value bindings, maintained for a particular user, tha t are provided to a process at runtime. This can provide a great deal of flexibility in tai loring the behavior of programs to a particular user's preferences. It can also serve as a simple me ans of interprocess communication.
