This is a simple RLE algorithm used by some old Mac archivers such as StuffIt. It uses a single-byte escape code to encode repeated runs of characters.
|
|
|
|
* The byte 0x90 followed by a a single non-zero byte N start a run of N-1 repetitions of the last byte previously output.
|
|
* 0x90 0x00 outputs the byte "0x90".
|
|
* 0x90 0x01 seems to either be a no-op or illegal.
|
|
* Any other byte sequence is a literal string. |
