-shntool is comprised of three parts - its core, mode modules, and
-format modules. This helps to make the code easier to maintain, as

-shorten reduces the size of waveform files (such as audio) using
-Huffman coding of prediction residuals and optional additional
-quantisation. In lossless mode the amount of compression obtained
-depends on the nature of the waveform. Those composing of low
-frequencies and low amplitudes give the best compression, which may
-be 2:1 or better. Lossy compression operates by specifying a minimum
-acceptable segmental signal to noise ratio or a maximum bit rate. Lossy
-compression operates by zeroing the lower order bits of the waveform,
-so retaining waveform shape.
