Can I use dll in Turbo C++ program and do we have any dll for lzw compression and decompression

Question

I was trying to create a lzw compression program. But i need to finish it by today itself so i want to use some dll for taking my input as txt file and output to as a text file. I want to do this in TURBO C++ code which are doing my remaining functionalities. Can anyone suggest me some method.

Answer 1

Libzip isn't LZW (it uses an algorithm that's generally better), but it is probably the best standard answer. I don't know if there's a downloadable DLL for it in a standard location, so you might have to compile it from source.

Alternatively, a bit of Google-searching (on "lzw compression dll") found this C++ source code for doing LZW compression, which you may be able to use: http://zabkat.com/blog/24Jan10-lzw-compression-code.htm

Answer 2

this is an oldie question.

You can still look around the LHArc sources on the old Simtel archives. There's an implementation of LZW algorithm before it was patented by Compuserve.
