Hi there everyone, This is quite possibly a very commonly asked question, so I'm sorry if my ignorance is showing. Here goes. Does anyone have, or know where one could get info concerning how the Lempel-Ziv compression algorithm works? Is it proprietary? My roommate is writing some code wherein he needs to know how to extract data archived in Lempel-Ziv. (He'll probably also need to archive things into Lempel-Ziv, I'm not utterly sure.) Either e-mail or post to the group, I'm easy! 8)Thanks in advance for any help that can be sent my way...
