[comp.graphics] LZW algorithm

I did a little research a while back when I was really into GIF files and
started writing my own algorithms for high-speed LZW compression and
decompression.  My computer runs at a painful 2.8 MHz so well written
algorithms are a must and I think I've gotten it about as fast as I can, so
now I'm wondering what other people have done.  Are there public listings of
this type of thing that I can look into?  I write exclusively in assembly on
my computer, so I'm really just interested in the algorithm (chances are there
aren't many assembly source listings for an optimized LZW code for an
Apple ][gs).

Any help or discussion on this subject would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
