Housekeeping for prefix coding.

We consider the problem of constructing and transmitting the prelude for Huffman (1952) coding. With careful organization of the required operations and an appropriate representation for the prelude, it is possible to make semistatic coding efficient even when S, the size of the source alphabet, is...
