[REBOL] Re: compression

Hi Hallvard,
<< I'm creating a GIF. Rebol has a built-in native compress function. What
kind of compression is it? Has anyone written a LZW compressor /
decompressor? I've been looking through the online script archive, but
didn't find anything. I've written one previously, in java, but I'd very
much like not to have to do it again--- >>
I'm not clear on what you need. Do you want something to compress the GIF
file once it's created, or do you need something that will compress a
buffer that goes into the GIF file? I'm guessing the latter because,
otherwise, you could just use REBOL's compression. In that case I don't
have anything on hand. Ole Friis has a Huffman example on REBOL forces,
and I just did a very quick RLE, but I don't know of LZW in REBOL.
