Re: not exactly recent: more coder speed stuff

mostly, I was figuring I would do an arithmetic coder (sort of) based on forcing probabilities to powers of 2. ofterwise, not much was done (apart from using a shift as a range). 

maybe I'm missing a reference ... but what are you trying to do!?

ac has the advantage of using fractions of bits/symbol ...
If you want to use probabilites with powers of 2 then you would get full bits/symbol. Why are you still trying to use the AC?
