CFG Approximations is a Java package implementing the compression algorithms considered in this SODA 2002 article by Lehmann and Shelat.
The archive is available for download:
As a JAR file (approximations.JAR) | |

As a TAR Gziped file (approximations.TGZ) |
Prior to running the software, it is necessary to downloading an install a recent version of the JAVA JDK (or JRE or SDK). It is available from SUN.
Under Zindozs (and maybe some other Linux distributions...), a jar can be executed through a simple double-click, once Java is installed.
A JAR file may also be uncompressed using the JAR tool bundled with JAVA (jar.exe under Zindozs...). The command line should look something like: jar -xvf approximations.JAR
Once the sources and classes have been decompressed, an executable class can be run, within the approximations directory, by invoking the following command
java -cp . approximations.Simulation
The package includes the following executable classes: :
