This archive contains source codes for
'lzpipe' library, which implements two
most popular compression methods: LZW
and deflate. Both of these methods are
de-facto lossless compression standards;
LZW is used in well-known 'compress'
utility and deflate is used by number of
utilities starting from 'pkzip' by
PKWare Inc. to, let's say, 'gzip'
utility. The library was intended to
give a programming capability analogous
to UNIX pipes for systems like MS-DOS,
but it also allows access to compressed
files as well.
