' [ Introduction ]
'
' LZ compression, also known as sliding window compression, uses redundancy to
' compress data.
' As input data is read, a dictionary of previous data is kept in memory. If a
' string of characters in the input data matches an entry in the dictionary, a
' code pointing to the dictionary entry is written to the output. If a match
' is not found in the dictionary the plain character is sent to the output.

' [ Description ]
'
' The algorithm is quite simple: Keep a ring buffer, which initially contains
' "space" characters only. Read several characters from the file to the
' buffer. Then search the buffer for the longest string that matches the
' characters just read, and send its length and position in the buffer.

' If the buffer size is 4096 bytes, the position can be encoded in 12 bits. If
' we represent the match length in four bits, the <position, length> pair is
' two bytes long. If the longest match is no more than two characters, then we
' send just one character without encoding, and restart the process with the
' next letter. If the match is three characters long or longer, we send a
' <position, length> pair. Given this, the longest match we can represent is
' 18 characters. Four bits hold a maximum value of 15, but we know we are not
' going to encode anything less than three bytes. Therefore, we can use 0
' through 15 to represent a match length of 3 through 18. A flag byte is
' written at the beginning of every eight characters or <position, length>
' pairs. In this implementation, a 1 indicates the entry is a plain character,
' while a zero indicates the entry is a <position, length> pair.
'
' [ About Algorithm ]
'
' This algorithm I have written for the very large time. It was has written
' for three months certainly in this algorithm is bugz and mistakes, but he
' works. The algorithm I has tried to make by more universal in him were
' the ideas from different LZ of algorithms are used... A lot of code I took
' from the book and that that on web page and that that wrote itself.
