It is over 10 years since I did any work on LZW, so I can't really
help you with that. You could use an LZWEncode filter, but be aware
that there is more than one way to encode the same data. GhostScript
uses a curious non-compressing method. 

The algorithm only really defines how to decompress. That's fine, you
just have to contruct a stream which decompresses to the target you
want. 

You are also using ASCII85. This is superficially simple, but can
introduce errors of its own. While working on LZW, I recommend using
ASCIIHex instead, to be sure of your data (and make it much easier to
read).
