Compress
VCompress comprises a group of classes that implement a lossless dictionary based compression algorithm.
The idea of operation is similar to the well known LZW, which is used for GIF compression. This algorithm has been developed without explicit reference to any external source code or specification. The binary image, or file format, written/read is not compatible with LZW. This approach to development and use ensures that we always have some sort of compression capability available irrespective of potential licensing or legal difficulties.
