Hi!

Try looking around on the forum, I know there are some topics on compression (RLE and LZW).

Don't forget "Patented Jibz technology" - aPLib (examples included in the masm32 package). Also, search for briefLZ. Jibz was very kind to translate it to MASM for us  :dance:

On the topic of "Which already exists in Windows NT and upper vers.?" AFAIK, Compressed Cabinet File Format has been built into Windows Ver 4+. Try looking at msdn for that. WinME+ natively supports .ZIP format as well but I haven't looked into that much  :red

Lastly Jeremey Collake has released his Algorithm 1 a.k.a JCALG1 compression lib to the public domain - hurray  :dance:

There is a test of the NTDLL compression functions here:
