This file contains information about the LZ file decompression libraries.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The LZ (Lempel Ziv) decompression was used in win16 installation programs.
|
||
|
|
(Win32 installation programs now use mostly CAB or WINZIP selfextractors
|
||
|
|
or something similair.)
|
||
|
|
It is a simple tabledriven decompression engine, the algorithm is not
|
||
|
|
documented as far as I know. WINE does not contain a compressor for
|
||
|
|
this format.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The libraries consist of LZEXPAND.DLL (win16) and LZ32.DLL (win32), the
|
||
|
|
implementation can be found in misc/lzexpand.c and there is a small
|
||
|
|
example program in libtest/expand.c.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The implementation is complete and there have been no reports of failures
|
||
|
|
for some time.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
FIXMEs:
|
||
|
|
- Check for correct include files
|
||
|
|
- Check whether the return values are correct
|
||
|
|
- Write a compressor for this format.
