+cppadvio: Advanced i/o, Networking, and Arithmetic Compression
+classlib, extended file names, and portable handling and compression
+of binary data
+
+A collection of classes and C++ streams that perform:
+ - a variable-bit coding of sequences of integers (including
+ Arithmetic compression),
+ - a trick of sharing a stream buffer (a "file") among several streams,
+ - handling of extended file names, with uni- and bi-directional 'pipes'
+ and a 'tcp://' prefix
+ - explicit endian specification in dealing with integer streams
+ - TCP streams
+ - a Vocabulary package, (poly/homo)morphic dictionaries with a
+ dynamic "inheritance" path, an embedded OO system
