shoco no compression

shoco-master/shoco c text text.out
The file text.out is the same size as input file text. That is shoco-master/shoco failed to compress the file.

The problem was traced to non-standard dictionary in shoco_model.h which gave no compression.

Bad shoco_model.h

Before compiling shoco make sure shoco_model.h is valid, E.g.
cp -p shoco-master/models/words_en.h  shoco-master/shoco_model.h
