Bulat Ziganshin?.. Hmm, this name rings the bell. A-HA! I know this name from 1990's and Russian (!) FIDO echoconference RU.COMPRESSION. He designed and wrote some impressive compressors which beats all these RAR and HA on (English) texts, as far as I remember.

It was place where Dmitry Shkarin showcases his PPMd, and Igor Pavlov (think: 7zip) was here too, if my memory serves me right.

Good old days.

I'm happy, that Bulat is alive and kicking.

Update: Ooops, last change in repo is ~5 years ago, it is sad.
