uncompress .Z file in C

Question

Can someone point me to a public domain (or MIT- or BSD-license) library for decompressing .Z files in ANSI C?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Sorry I was talking rubbish in my previous response. Apparently unix compressed files (.Z) use LZW, not Deflate.

In this case, check out liblzw. It is public domain.

Answer 2

There's a public domain version on sourceforge: ncompress

Edit: liblzw (DrJokepu's suggestion) and ncompress share the same developer and codebase, so stick with liblzw...
