                 substring compression as a modularisation scheme.
                 Despite the fact that the compression of substrings
                 assumes a tight linkage between alleles, this approach
                 improves the GP search process. The compression of the
                 genotype, which is a form of linkage learning, provides
                 both a protection mechanism and a form of genetic code
                 reuse. This text presents the results obtained with the
                 cl-GP on the Even-n-parity problem. Results indicate
                 that the modularization of the cl-GP performs better
                 than a normal l-GP as it allows the cl-GP to preserve
                 useful gene combinations. Additionally the cl-GP
                 modularisation is well suited for problems where the
                 problem size is adjusted in a co-evolutionary setup,
                 the problem size increases each time a solution is
