Multistream compression is based on a transformation significantly different from the ones commonly used for data compression. This Master thesis concerns with the use of said method for the compression of text files written in natural language. The main goal of the thesis is to find suitable preprocessing methods for text transformation, which would enable the Multistream compression to achieve better compression ratios, together with searching for the best methods for coding of individual streams. The practical part of the thesis deals with the implementation of several transformation algorithms into the XBW project.
