All this talk of compression prodded me into typing in a program from
an old faded photocopy that's been kicking around my pending file
for several months.  Surprisingly it worked first time, which is just
as well because if there were any bugs in the logic I'd never have
found them ;-)

  This file coded up from the paper above by Graham Toal <gtoal@ed.ac.uk>

  This is a one-pass dynamic Huffman code generator.  I supply a trivial
  interface for testing.  Real-world use would require that you firstly
  translate this into C (please post here when you do) and secondly
  modify the IO to write binary files. (This writes a text file of
  0's and 1's for demonstration purposes)

  Also it needs some logic for what happens on end of file.
