- Hi,
-
- I would like to save some space by storing long data structures
- temporary in a compressed form. Though I don`t want to loose much
- time in compressing and decompressing them, I look for a
- lempel-ziv coder/decoder source, that will make it as simple as
- possible to store and retrive huge arrays. I imagine the
- following operations:
-
- storeID = store(char *ptr, size);
-
- will store the array pointed to by ptr of size "size" and return the
- ID.
-
- size = retrieve(char *ptr, storeID);
-
- will decode the through storeID referenced array into ptr and
- return the size.
