The due date for Compression has been moved from 10/15 11:59 PM to 10/17 11:59 PM. This also means that you may turn in the assignment by 10/18 11:59 PM at the cost of 1 late day, and by 10/19 11:59 PM at the cost of 2 late days.
Also, in preparation for the lab, I recommend the following PDF, prepared by Owen Durni, that shows all of the compressions and transformations that you will be implementing. Note also that you will be implementing the Burrows-Wheeler transformation slightly differently than what was presented in recitation.
