| 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. |
