  Description     : high compression ratio archiver

 PAQ is a series of open source data compression archivers that have
 evolved through collaborative development to top rankings on several
 benchmarks measuring compression ratio (although at the expense of
 speed and memory usage).

- - 

PAQ is a complete rewrite of PAQ6 and variants (PAQAR, PAsQDa).
Compression ratio is similar to PAQAR but 3 times faster. However it
lacks x86 and a dictionary, so does not compress Windows executables
and English text files as well as PAsQDa. It does include models for
color .bmp, .tiff, and .jpeg files, so compresses these files better.
The primary difference from older PAQs is it uses a neural network to
combine models rather than a gradient descent mixer.

Test results are shown on the Calgary corpus (14 individual files or
concatenated into a single file of 3,141,622 bytes). All options set
for maximum compression. Programs are ordered by increasing
compression on the concatenated corpus. For sources to many programs,
see <ftp://ftp.elf.stuba.sk/pub/pc/pack/>.
