History of Data Compression in Japan

In 1987, I was asked by a magazine editor to write an article about data compression. I wrote a manuscript and an accompanying program, sent them to the editor, and forgot about them. The next time I heard from him I was told that the magazine was discontinued. So I uploaded my program, a simple implementation of the LZSS compression algorithm (see below) to PC-VAN, a big Japanese BBS run by NEC.
