Hi folks,

I'm looking for an easy to understand algorhythm for data compression.
It has not to be very sophisticated. I want to add it to a piece of
software, so that a compress is done during a write access and an
uncompress during the read. I guess this would save about 30-50% of
the diskspace. I got the source of ZIP and UNZIP, but I wasn't able to
understand it, because I'm not so good in C and I havenot the time I
would need to understand all activities done in this tool.

Many thanks in advance.

Lars
