Was surprised how little information turned up in a Google search, but
I can't imagine that this topic is new and maybe I'm looking in the
wrong place.

I have a series of .Z (UNIX LZW compressed) files that I need to
decompress inside a VB6 project.

My desire would be to read in the compressed file into a byte array.
Pass that array to the decompress function, and be returned a new byte
array with the decompressed data.

Guidance/direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Evan




Yes, not much found other than talking about GIF's. That may or may not
help you.

Here a search results URL for PlanetSourceCode that mentions LZW....

riesPerPage=10&blnResetAllVariables=TRUE&optSort=Alphabetical

There's a couple there that clain to have LZW code inside.
