I was reading about LZSS and it sounded like LZ77, or rather what everyone 
calls LZ77, and the definition, even on wikipedia [1] it notices that 'Many 
popular archivers like PKZip, ARJ, RAR, ZOO, LHarc use LZSS rather than LZ77 as 
the primary compression algorithm; the encoding of literal characters and of 
length-distance pairs varies'. Concepts of 'literal', 
'length-distance pair',  don't even exist in Lempel Ziv method nor 
in a paper [2]. Even profesor on University of Victoria differentiate between 
them [3].   So, in my humble opinion, to do be precise and do justice to 
creators of the scheme, namely Storer and Szymanski, in Readme it would be good 
to state about LZSS rather than LZ77 as they have as much in common as 
Stevenson's locomotive and TGV.   ----  1. Lempel-Ziv-Storer-Szymanski
