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.
