ZIP File Compression

My memories of the Cold War in the Philippines are a little clearer now. 

I had too much Power during those time; I was the child genius/Wizard deciding for the whole world. 

I started up and planned many what would be billion-dollar tech companies. You know it is too huge a money they made me forget; they stole the companies from me. 

They made me forget by "threatening" to kill me often (fear of death represses memories), "tiring" me, exhausting me by making me produce and produce for them, and the lastly brutal way, they made me forget by "intruding" on my brain with drugs or chemicals, which they did again when I was in grade school. Yes, I have been in worse conditions such as this, torture. It's like killing you indeed if you forget yourself. (I reckon just simple anesthesia "loosens" the connections in the brain and will make you forget.) 

I made the Hollywood movies, e.g., Star Wars, Star Trek, Transformers. Music and movies are mine. They're my "documentary" movies of what I was into that time, more like my diaries. Didn't they tell you it is "inexpensive" to shoot movies in the Philippines? But they were actually "real" events, documentary movies of the Cold War under my grip from here in the Philippines. 

I wanted World Peace. I made the modern US, modern governments, modern Nations. 

When I was remembering this, in College again, I satisfied myself with my memories of my big hand in Computer Science too, and dreamed of data compression programs powerful than PKZIP, the result of which is "The Data Compression Guide" (with no compressors here beating ZIP compression by the way). I think Bill Gates went to me again in College, and Larry Page. 

We decided on the ZIP file format too. It was a cousin of mine who was programming PKZIP. It was like he's the real Phil Katz, or he's co-developer. To my knowledge, I largely programmed ARJ, using others' suggested ideas. I was attached to the Russians that time probably. So my mindset that time was that I can't beat PKZIP compression. Also to my knowledge I programmed GZIP too; (you see it's a "G"). But Jean-loup Gailly was good, I knew. (Now the best file compressors and archivers can be found in Matt Mahoney's "Large Text Compression Benchmark" and encode.su.) 

Note: I have already beaten ZIP this 2000-2008 without the use of arithmetic coding. But I forgot the algorithms. I probably deleted the file compressors again. My bad. I surmise if Google and Microsoft were hacking me that time, they might had seen the said file compressors. Facebook?? 

I still have maybe 2-3 algorithms in my mind for a breakthrough compression algorithm. :-)
