Short: dicpng - compress data into png-images
Author: Rupert Hausberger <natmeg@gmx.net>
Type: util/pack
Version: 1.1
Architecture: ppc-morphos

Description
===========
DIC stands for "Data Image Compress" and is an algorythm
to compress data into images. PNG is used as output-format,
therefore the executable-name is "dicpng".

- The png-image of a compressed data can be shown like any other png-image.
- The compression-ratio is nearly that of LHA, depends on data. Seems to
have nice ratios on binaries but bad on text-files.
- The input-data is threaded in a special way to gain a better ratio.
- The info for decompression is stored as a png-tag.
