A function to compress a text file (other file types could be used alternatively) using huffman compression. Points could be given for elegance, speed, and compression.

Sounds like a great idea but don't just limit it to huffman. Any type of compression would be awesome. I'm in anyways.
Haven't we already done a text/data compression contest?

We have some newer members now, and some members with more knowledge. It's not a bad idea.
Ok, I'll put up a poll for a general compression contest.
//edit: I've decided to skip the poll... I'll just do the compression one.
