szip homepage
Szip is a freeware portable general purpose lossless compression program. It has a high speed and compression, but high memory demands (up to 20MB) too. The compression is done using a variant of blocksorting, which explains its rather high memory requirements.
Update: Michael Schindler has at long last posted the source code for szip.
