shorten.1.12.
=============

shorten reduces the size of waveform files using Huffman
coding of prediction residuals.  The amount of compression
obtained depends on the nature of the waveform.  Those com-
posing of low frequencies and low amplitudes give the best
compression.  Compression is generally better than that
obtained by general purpose compression utilities applied to
waveform files.
