Thank you very much for your information.

I think I can guess how it works:
- Divide the data into small blocks, say N bytes per block.
- Compress each data block, using a standard compression methods such as LZ77
and then save them into a file.

To refer a position:
- Compute the position of a block
- Read that block from the file, unzip (by LZ77) it into memory
- Find the position and extract the information

If that method is correct (correct me if I am wrong), it is quite
straightforward. Actually, I have been waiting for something more special, say a
total new compression method but not LZ77 :)
