Does anyone know of Fortran source code for data compression that is available? We have binary data that WinZIP can compress by a factor of 10. We would like to compress the data on our legacy platform before exporting -- hence the need for Fortran.
All we need are Fortran routines that will compress or decompress a buffer in memory. Fortran 77 compliance would be best.
I believe that compression software is available from some of the old DECUS distributions, although I don't know if it's written in Fortran. You may also want to look at the comp.compression and comp.compression.research newsgroups.
