I am in a project for developing a s/w for file compression(text oriented) that gives effective results. I searched this site but no question has been answered with the basics of file compression. I am ok with java,c,c++ for coding. Kindly suggest me some websites, books and specific algorithms to do this. And how to look at the coding of standard file compression s/w s available? Thanks for considering this too basic question..

Following are some of the best known and can be easily implemented file compression algorithms and mostly all of them suitable for text files as they provide lossless compression.
Lempel-Ziv compression (LZ77 and LZ78)
DEFLATE – Combines Lempel-Ziv
Lempel–Ziv–Markov chain algorithm (LZMA)
Lempel–Ziv–Oberhumer (LZO)
Lempel–Ziv–Storer–Szymanski (LZSS)
Lempel–Ziv–Welch (LZW)
