Pfeh!  That's nothing.  I was able to record a full 5 minutes into my
1 meg Ramfactor on my //e!  I succesfully recorded Led Zeppelin's
_The Song Remains The Same_ in its entirety into my apple, with decent
quality.  This was achieved by packing 8 state changes into a byte (each
bit...)  I think I was able to do about 30 seconds in the lower 48K of
an apple machine (starting at $0800 and going all the way up to $9600).

What was Gary Little's algorithm like?
