<p>Shannon-Fano Data Compression.
It can compress any kind of file up to 4 GB.</p>
<p>(But trying to compress an already compressed file like zip, jpg etc. can produce a (slightly) larger file though. Shannon-Fano is not the best data compression algorithm anyway.)</p>

<p>Unites N files into a single file (or separates them back).</p>
<p>This utility can be used together w/ my other post titled "Huffman Data Compression" to enable compression of multiple files.</p>
