+Bicom is a data compressor in the PPM family. It is freely available and
+Open Source. It's most unique characteristic, is that compression with
+bicom is completely bijective -- any file is a possible bicom output that
+can be decompressed, and then recompressed back to its original form. Of
+course, any file is also a possible bicom input that can be compressed,
+and then decompressed back to its original form. To support encryption
+applications, bicom also includes a passphrase-protection option that
+will automatically encrypt after compressing, or decrypt before
+decompressing.
