heyo

ive been working on a little compression module for the past couple days and its now completed. It's a little static library (only 8.1 kb) and provides huffman encoding and decoding to buffers of data; which in turn can be used on files, network data, etc.

included in the zip are:
-CompMod library (compmod.h and compmod.lib)
-An example program that compresses and decompresses a file
-Complete source code (which may win an obfuscated code contest, lol)

be sure to read the readme.txt!

Why not use arithmetic encoding? ignoring the patent of course. It's almost as easy and gets you closer to entropy.

You should invent MAZZ22.
