PipeX Project

Finally, I did what I always wanted to do: to open my own open source project. It is called "PipeX" and it will allow developers to create pipes (yeah, like water pipes) to direct data flow in their application. Each pipe will perform different actions on the data inside (like encrypting, compressing and etc.). You can access it on SourceForge.net website at http://sourceforge.net/projects/pipex/.
I made a first release of pipeX library today. It includes only BWT ( Burrows-Wheeler Transformation / Block Sorting) algorithm, but that is a good start.
Next pipe I'm planing to release will be implementation of LZW compression algorithm.
