Abstract :
The authors have proposed a compressed data format that can be used with any foreign file system and that allows users to access data randomly in a compressed file without entirely decompressing it. Since the compressed file includes all information regarding compression in this format, there is a great advantage that any file system can treat compressed files as just usual files, even if the file system does not have compression capability
