+pucrunch (compressor optimized for low-resource decompression)
+
+Pucrunch is a Hybrid LZ77 and RLE compressor, uses an Elias Gamma Code
+for lengths, mixture of Gamma Code and linear for LZ77 offset, and
+ranked RLE bytes indexed by the same Gamma Code. Uses no extra memory
+in decompression.
+
+The compressor can compress/decompress files for C64 (-c64), VIC20
+(-c20), C16/+4 (-c16), or for standalone decompressor (-c0).
+
+Assembly sources for example decompressors (for Commodore 64 and Nintendo
+GameBoy) are included.
