library implementing a Reed-Solomon error correction algorithm

The RSCODE project is an implementation of a Reed-Solomon error correction algorithm. It provides a byte-sized block coding which is convenient for adding protection to data which is stored as eight-bit bytes (i.e., most common computer data).

The Reed-Solomon code is the same one used for encoding of data on Audio CD's and CD-ROM disks, as well as many magnetic and optical disk controllers. You basically want to use Reed-Solomon coding in any situation where "forward error correction" is needed, i.e., the decoder will not have the option of requesting retransmission of bad blocks.

This package contains the shared library.
