Welcome to the JavaRanch, repton. You must have missed our
naming policy on the way in. In short, we ask that everyone use a first and last name, seperated by a space and not obviously fake as their display name. You can change your name
here.
As for your question, you can always use Runtime.exec() to invoke compress/decompress, or you can read up on how
Lempel-Ziv compression works and create your own class.
