BriefLZ compression code ported to MASM

[Jibz]

Here is a port of my little BriefLZ project to MASM.

BriefLZ is a small and fast open source implementation of a Lempel-Ziv style compression algorithm. The main focus is on speed, but the ratios achieved are quite good compared to similar algorithms.

The included example is compressing the input file in 56k chunks. This is for compatibility with the 16-bit version, and you can get better ratios by using a larger block size.

The full package contains source in C and NASM style assembler, but since a couple of people have asked for a MASM port, here it is :U.

Is this the "small" or the "fast" version, i remember seeing two version in the original package?

[Jibz]

It was the "fast" version.

I have uploaded a new zip above, which contains both the "fast" and "small" versions :U.

This looks good stuf Jibz.  :U

Thanks for all the positive feedback :U.

I updated the attachment above with 'safe' versions of the depackers, which should not read or write outside the bounds they are given, no matter what the input is. These should also be in the next release of BriefLZ.
