When I first learned the C programming language I found data compression
algorithms very educational. Does anyone have references to toy data
compression implementations written in OCaml?
There was a thread in the Haskell mailing list recently about a
Burrows-Wheeler implementation that is very concise and quite efficient in
Haskell. In particular, it uses the lazy sort to get the kth smallest element
in O(n) time trick... :-)

there's a collection of various programs/examples on the caml site:

there's a "compress" program.
