This is appearently wrong, and his code cannot be implemented without his
permission. This becomes rather amusing when one notices that there is no
mention of this patent in Storer's book.

Gasp, my long-term-reference-memory is beginning to mis-track. Bentley et
al. describe a word-oriented compressor (in CACM 1986, #4) that is adaptive
via a move-the-matching-word-to-front heuristic. It doesn't look anything
like Bernstein Y (why) coding.
