# Upkr Upkr is a simple general purpose lz packer designed to be used in the [MicroW8](https://github.com/exoticorn/microw8) platform. The compressed format is base on [Shrinkler](https://github.com/askeksa/Shrinkler) with the main difference being that Upkr doesn't differnetiate between literals at odd or even addresses. At this point, Upkr should be considered unstable - the exact format isn't finalized yet and still subject to change and only a very simple (but also very fast) greedy compressor is implemented. The compression ratio will be improved with a more thourough lz parse in the future, although even in the current state is is already similar to the DEFLATE compression algorithm.
