i've been working on a simple implementation of the deflate compression algorithm
the code is available at the suckless repository now http://hg.suckless.org/flate it is still work in progress, i plan to use it in another project to replace zlib. it does not do anything fancy (yet) but the compression ratio and time is comparable with zlib compression level 9. a simple command line tool for raw deflate, zlib, gzip and pkzip stream compression and decompression is also provided i would not use it for critical data yet any feedback is appreciated nsz
