| On your third question, if I understand LZW correctly, there is no need to write any dictionary to the file at all; that's part of the elegance of the algorithm. Unless you're compressing it again with Huffman, there should be no header. And if you are compressing it Huffman, you'll see the typical Huffman "gobbledygook". :-) |
