ACKNOWLEDGMENTS * We used "Screaming Fast Galois Field Arithmetic Using Intel SIMD Instructions" paper by James S. Plank, Kevin M. Greenan and Ethan L. Miller to improve Reed-Solomon coding performance. Also we are grateful to Artem Drobanov and Bulat Ziganshin for samples and ideas allowed to make Reed-Solomon coding more efficient. * RAR text compression algorithm is based on Dmitry Shkarin PPMII and Dmitry Subbotin carryless rangecoder public domain source code. You may find it in ftp.elf.stuba.sk/pub/pc/pack. * RAR encryption includes parts of code from Szymon Stefanek and Brian Gladman AES implementations also as Steve Reid SHA-1 source. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright (c) 2002, Dr Brian Gladman < >, Worcester, UK.
