WPEG

WPEG is not actually a programming language; it is a file compression algorithm, far superior in all respects to any existing file compression algorithm.

The compression program uploads your file to a web server, then gives the URL to http://tinyurl.com/ to provide a short URL linking to it. The part of the URL after “http://tinyurl.com/” is returned as the compressed file. This is an ASCII string.

The original goes on with the design principles, the decompression algorithm (any web browser will do: type “http://tinyurl.com/” followed by the contents of the compressed file) and an analysis of its performance on several 100 GB files.
