"The output can be anything." might be too open-ended. I would prefer it if all the solutions did it the same way, or something. --[[Special:Contributions/76.167.241.45|76.167.241.45]] 18:32, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
I would prefer this task to use a run length encoding which will work at least on all ASCII characters. The current encoding can't represent [0-9]. A more flexible encoding is implemented [http://wiki.forthfreak.net/index.cgi?RunLengthEncoding here]. --[[User:IanOsgood|IanOsgood]] 19:27, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
* Run code has high bit set, remaining 7 bits are run length-1.
* Bytes in stream with high bit set are always encoded as a run, perhaps with a length of only one.
